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.
And it pits the human body against all sorts of invaders â prions, viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. The textbook example of balanced polymorphism is the protection that being a carrier for sickle cell disease confers against malaria, published in 1954.
