A quandle is a set with a binary operation satisfying some properties. A quandle homomorphism is a map between quandles preserving the structure of their binary operations. A knot determines a quandle called a knot quandle. We show that the number of all quandle homomorphisms of a knot quandle of a knot to an Alexander quandle is completely determined by Alexander polynomials of the knot. Further we show that the set of all quandle homomorphisms of a knot quandle to an Alexander quandle has a module structure.
