Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A locus with more variation than can be explained by mutation is referred to as polymorphic. This means that there are multiple forms or variations of a particular gene in a population, indicating that more than one allele is present at that locus. This variation can be maintained through mechanisms such as genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow.
