1. the property of having only one form or structure
Usage: biology
2. a function between mathematical structures that preserves structure and is injective
Usage: mathematics

Examples

• The species exhibits monomorphism, with all individuals looking nearly identical.
• Sexual monomorphism means males and females of the species appear the same.
• The mathematician proved that the function was indeed a monomorphism.
• In category theory, every monomorphism is a left-cancellative morphism.
• The lack of variation suggested monomorphism in the population.
• Ring homomorphisms that are monomorphisms are called injective.
• The biologist studied monomorphism in various bird species.
