Monomorphism

/ˌmɒnəʊˈmɔːfɪzəm/noun
ELI5 mode

A monomorphism is a morphism in category theory that is left-cancellative, meaning if two morphisms compose with it to the same result, they must be equal, ensuring a kind of 'one-way uniqueness' in mathematical structures. In biology, it refers to a population or trait with only one form, contrasting with polymorphism and highlighting evolutionary simplicity in modern genetic studies.
