Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as dna polymorphism if more than one variant at a locus occurs in human population with a freqyency greater than 0.01

Dear student,
The statement given above describes about the allelic sequence variation which is called DNA polymorphism. There are two locus in a gene where usually two alleles are present. But DNA polymorphism explains that if the variation in the allele at a single locus if occurs in a population with a frequency greater than 0.01(one individual out of 100 individual) then it is called DNA polymorphism. 

Regards
