1. Plural of allelomorphism; the quality or state of being allelomorphic, or the relationship between alleles (alternative forms of a gene) in genetics.
Usage: technical; genetics; rare in modern usage; allelomorph and allele are more common

Examples

• The study of allelomorphisms in fruit flies helped early geneticists understand inheritance patterns.
• Mendel's work on pea plants revealed allelomorphisms that governed seed color and plant height.
• Modern genetics has largely replaced the term allelomorphisms with the simpler concept of alleles.
• The allelomorphisms observed in the population suggested multiple genetic variants at the same locus.
