| Authors: | I Kornfield P S Gagnon B D Sidell |
| Abstract: | Progeny from single pair crosses of Atlantic herring were examined to determine the heritability of genetic variation at seven polymorphic allozyme loci. Mendelian inheritance of codominant autosomal alleles was established for IDH-2, LDH-1, LDH-2, ME-2, PGM-1, and PGI-2. This demonstration of Mendelian inheritance is essential for accurate interpretation of allozymic variation among natural populations of this pelagic species. |
