Answer #1

The frequency of fixed alleles is 1 because this is the only varient that exist for that gene in entire population.The allele frequency generally ranges between 0 to 1. If the particular variant is absent in the population then allele frequency is 0 and if only one variant allele is present, allele frequency is 1 as in case of fixed allele.Allele frequencies generally shows the genetic diveraity of a population.
