From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Fixation. In population genetics, fixation is the change in a gene pool from a situation where there exists at least two variants of a particular gene (allele) to a situation where only one of the alleles remains.ixation can refer to a gene in general or particular nucleotide position in the DNA chain (locus). In the process of substitution, a previously non-existent allele arises by mutation and undergoes fixation by spreading through the population by random genetic drift and/or positive selection.
