Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Polytypism

👉 Polytypism is a trait in which certain individuals have two or more identical chromosomes, while others do not. This means that they have one copy of each chromosome and are therefore considered as different individuals. Polytypism has been found in various species, including humans, dogs, and some plants. It can be advantageous for traits that require high levels of genetic diversity, such as intelligence and athletic abilities, but it also increases the likelihood of genetic disorders due to the possibility of inheriting a defective gene
