Polymorphisms and inheritance patterns of tetrazolium oxidase and octanol dehydrogenase in the house fly.
Zymogram analyses suggested the existence of two autosomal codominant alleles each at loci controlling the production of tetrazolium oxidase (To1) and octanol dehydrogenase (Odh1) in Texas house flies; an additional variant of the To1 locus was detected in a population from South Dakota. The allozymes of both systems may be dimeric as indicated by the presence of possible heteropolymers in flies heterozygous for To1 and Odh1 allels. Apparent nonsegregating isozymes of To and Odh (To2 and Odh2) were also noted in the zymograms of Texas flies. Some banding forms in the Odh gels could not be interpreted genetically.
