| Abstract: | Three NADH diaphorase phenotypes were observed in the red cells of sheep. Breeding data indicated that this polymorphism was under the control of two autosomal co-dominant alleles, designated DiaF and Dias. Phenotype Dia F had significantly lower NADH diaphorase activity than phenotype Dia S. The frzquency of DiaF and DiaS was determined in 9 different breeds. |
