Abstract: | Hybrids between Papio anubis and P. cynocephalus occur in nature. We have studied laboratory bred hybrids, together with their backcrossed offspring. Electrophoretic experiments on the proteins, serum enzymes and erythrocytes obtained from both hybrids and parents lead to three conclusions. First, both parents and hybrids possess proteins having identical mobilities; this case is the most frequent in the 23 loci studied. Second, individual polymorphism caused by, for example, carbonic anhydrase I or transferrin in one or both parents results in the appearance of a codominant phenotype in the hybrid, when the parental components are distinguishable. Third, when other enzymes such as albumin, alkaline phosphatase, haemoglobin and the serum esterases have particular electrophoretic mobilities in the parents, then the hybrid is again codominant; a particularly interesting case among the esterases is that of pseudocholinesterase, where the paternal component is partially repressed in the hybrid. The hybrid than exhibits the phenomenon of allelic repression of at least one gene, which confirms the taxonomic position of species of the two forms of Papio studied. |
