Abstract

A simple routine method for detecting individuals who are heterozygous for the silent gene Gt⁰ is presented. This method consists of a combination of electrophoresis and densitometry. The results confirm the theoretical expectation that these individuals would exhibit about 50% of the enzyme activity found in the corresponding normal phenotype.
