Pleomorfismo

The coexistence, in the same locality, of two or more distinct forms independent of sex, not connected by intermediate gradations, but produced from common parents.

Examples :

"The pleomorphism in the litter of kittens was striking; some were solid black, others were calico, and yet all were born to the same mother without any blended coat patterns among them. "

El pleomorfismo en la camada de gatitos fue sorprendente; algunos eran negros sólidos, otros eran calicó, y sin embargo todos nacieron de la misma madre sin ningún patrón de pelaje mezclado entre ellos.

Polimorfismo

The feature pertaining to the dynamic treatment of data elements based on their type, allowing for an instance of a method to have several definitions.

Examples :

"In object-oriented programming, pleomorphism allows a "print" function to display different information based on whether it's printing a "Book" object (showing the title and author) or a "Person" object (showing the name and age). "

En la programación orientada a objetos, el polimorfismo permite que una función "imprimir" muestre información diferente según si está imprimiendo un objeto "Libro" (mostrando el título y el autor) o un objeto "Persona" (mostrando el nombre y la edad).

Pleomorfismo, polimorfismo

Examples :

"In computer science, pleomorphism enables a function to work with different data types, making the code more reusable, just like a single teaching method can be adapted for students with diverse learning styles. "

En informática, el pleomorfismo permite que una función trabaje con diferentes tipos de datos, haciendo que el código sea más reutilizable, al igual que un solo método de enseñanza puede adaptarse a estudiantes con diversos estilos de aprendizaje.

noun

Pleomorfismo, polimorfismo

The ability of a solid material to exist in more than one form or crystal structure; pleomorphism.

Examples :

"Diamond and graphite are examples of carbon pleomorphism because they are both made of carbon atoms but have different crystal structures, leading to different properties. "

El diamante y el grafito son ejemplos de pleomorfismo del carbono porque ambos están hechos de átomos de carbono pero tienen diferentes estructuras cristalinas, lo que lleva a diferentes propiedades.

noun

Pleomorfismo, polimorfismo

The regular existence of two or more different genotypes within a given species or population; also, variability of amino acid sequences within a gene's protein.

Examples :

"Because of pleomorphism within the bacteria population, some bacteria in the sample were round while others were rod-shaped, despite being the same species. "

Debido al pleomorfismo dentro de la población bacteriana, algunas bacterias en la muestra eran redondas mientras que otras tenían forma de bastón, a pesar de ser de la misma especie.
