monomorphic
One shape only
Monomorphic describes something that exists in only one form or shape, in contrast to polymorphic, which has multiple forms.
In biology, a monomorphic species shows little variation in physical appearance between individuals or sexes.
In programming, monomorphic code operates on a single data type rather than multiple types.
The term appears in medical contexts too, where monomorphic ventricular tachycardia indicates a heart rhythm abnormality with uniform electrical patterns.
