Bahamas Local, however, reports that a hurricane occurs about every three years with a major tropical storm every 12 years. Andros, Abaco and Grand Bahama are ranked in the top 10 places hit by tropical systems in the North Atlantic.
An example of a botanical genetic polymorphism is heterostyly, in which flowers occur in different forms with different arrangements of the pistils and the stamens. The system is called heteromorphic self-incompatibility, and the general 'strategy' of stamens separated from pistils is known as herkogamy.enetic polymorphism is actively and steadily maintained in populations by natural selection, in contrast to transient polymorphisms where a form is progressively replaced by another. By definition, genetic polymorphism relates to a balance or equilibrium between morphs.
1 The later definition by Cavalli-Sforza & Bodmer (1971) is currently used: Genetic polymorphism is the occurrence in the same population of two or more alleles at one locus, each with appreciable frequency, where the minimum frequency is typically taken as 1%.ll the common blood types, such as the ABO blood group system, are genetic polymorphisms. Here we see a system where there are more than two morphs: the phenotypes A, B, AB and O are present in all human populations, but vary in proportion in different parts of the world.
