Polyphenism is a phenomenon in biology where a single genotype can produce multiple distinct phenotypes depending on environmental conditions. This means that the same genetic makeup can lead to different physical appearances, behaviors, or physiological traits based on external factors such as temperature, diet, social environment, or other environmental stimuli. Polyphenism is often observed in various species, particularly in insects, amphibians, and plants.
