A discontinued form of variation in the genetic material that leads to the emergence of different types of individuals within the single species is termed as polymorphism. It is responsible for splitting the individuals belonging to a population into two or more than two clearly different forms.
On the contrary, the individuals in a population are dispersed between the wide extremes in the case of continuous variation. The variation or the population is termed as polymorphic when the frequency of the discontinuous forms present within the species is extremely high.
The distinction of the organisms into males and females is the most obvious example of polymorphism. Moreover, the different blood types and the smooth graduation of height among humans is also polymorphism.
