title: Inheritance and expression of Esterase-1 allozymes in Peromyscus leucopus.
abstract: We analyzed inheritance of 5 Es-1 alleles in P leucopus and found them to be co-dominant and segregating from a single autosomal locus, thereby verifying assumptions of Mendelian inheritance implicit in field data. We also described an allele that is 'silent' in hemolysate, but is active in liver extract.
