1% critrion?
"In addition to having more than one allele at a specific locus, each allele must also occur in the population at a rate of at least 1% to generally be considered polymorphic."

The source for this sentence says something entirely different:"A polymorphism is said to occur when the most common allele has a frequency of no greater than 99 percent."

- In other words: Alleles of any frequency, no matter how low, are polymorphisms, as long as the frequency of the respective most common allele is not higher than 99%. RFLP is an example that further illustrates the error of the (former) sentence. --Felix Tritschler (talk) 21:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
