β¦ Synopsis
A female Rana pipiens sphenocephala suspected of being heterozygous at a locus specifying the B or most negatively charged, subunit of the lactate dehydrogenase isozymes was back-crossed to a R . p. sphenocephula male and outcrossed to a R. p. pipiens male. The results of these crosses show that: (1) the structure of the B subunit of frog LDH is controlled by at least three allelic genes (LDB a, LDB b, and LDB "); ( 2 ) LDH of the offsprings' phenotype appears before hatching;
( 3 ) maternal-type enzyme, probably synthesized during oogenesis, persists until at least the eleventh day after the tadpoles begin to feed.

## Abstract Quantitative changes in the isozyme patterns of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, phosphoglucomutase and aldolase during the ontogeny of guinea pig heart muscle, skeletal muscle, kidney and liver were investigated simultaneously. In nearly all organs these changes could be
Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the tissue-specific and ontogenetic patterns of three dehydrogenase enzymes (LDH, ADH, and G-6-PD) of the guppy were investigated. Only one band of G-6-PD was detected in extracts of the liver. Isozyme LDH-B4 was ubiquitous; isozyme LDH-A4 was detected predo
