| Abstract: | A system of seric transferrin groups has been found in the newt, Pleurodeles waltlii Michahelles. The genetic transmission of this protein type is studied in this article. Polymorphism is based on the existence of 2 transferrins, TfA and TfB. Phenotypes B and AB were observed in a laboratory population, and the third phenotype, A, was obtained after crossing heterozygotes. Transferrin types were reproduced in clones of newts obtained by nuclear grafts. |
