Dimorphism

Types of dimorphism (two body types) include:
  • Sexual dimorphism is differences in the body appearance of a species based on gender.
  • Nuclear dimorphism is when a cell's nuclear apparatus is composed of two structurally and functionally differentiated types of nuclei.
  • Phenotypic dimorphism is switching between two cell-types. (from Candida_albicans "To infect host tissue, the usual unicellular yeast-like form of Candida albicans reacts to environmental cues and switches into an invasive, multicellular filamentous form. This switching between two cell-types is known as dimorphism.")
