(1) The existence, in a population, of two or more alleles of a gene, where the frequency of the rarer alleles is greater than can be explained by recurrent mutation alone (typically greater than 1%). HLA alleles of the major histocompatibility complex are very polymorphic.

A situation in which one species contains two or more distinct morphological types (morphs) of individuals, which are determined genetically. Morphs may differ in physical characteristics such as color, body size, or bill length or shape, but not in characteristics that are related to sex, age, locality, or season.
