Monomorphic refers to a population that has the same genetic variant or allele. Thus, if all members have the same DNA segment, then the population is monomorphic. The other options are not applicable in this case. Polymorphic means the existence of two or more variants or alleles within a population, trimorphic means the existence of three different variants or alleles within a population, and neomorphic refers to a newly evolved or mutated gene or allele that did not exist in the ancestral population.
