(a) Allele fixation is the process that occurs when only one
variant exists for that gene in a population.
An allele can become "un-fixed" or lose it fixation, when another
allele appears. This occurs either due to random mutations or
through immigrations.
In this case, special care was taken to prevent flies from outside contaminating the colony. Thus, the presence of allele a is due to random mutation that would have occurred during meiosis.
