A gene is considered polymorphic if it has more than one allele in a population. If each allele has a frequency of less than 99%, it means there is variation in the population and the gene is not fixed for a single allele, making it polymorphic. Monomorphic genes have only one allele, while biallelic and polyallelic refer to the number of alleles present in the gene, which is not relevant in this context.
