Polymorphic Trait

What is a polymorphic trait? Provide examples of polymorphic traits in modem humans, and give one example of a monomorphic trait. Why is the incidence of sickle-cell anemia an excellent example of a "balanced polymorphism," in which two or more alleles are maintained by natural selection in a population? Why is the peppered moth an excellent example of directional selection?
