Balanced Polymorphism: Nature's Strategy for Genetic Diversity

Jacob T. Masters

Balanced polymorphism, a concept rooted in evolutionary biology, refers to the maintenance of multiple genetic variants within a population over time. This phenomenon highlights the dynamic interplay between genetic diversity and natural selection, shaping the genetic landscape of species in response to environmental pressures. Understanding balanced polymorphism provides insights into how organisms adapt and thrive in diverse ecological niches.
