Adult Drosophila melanogaster flies collected from populations broadly dispersed over ecological and geographic strata of North Carolina, and over a period of 4 years, were analyzed for alcohol dehydrogenase phenotypes by gel electrophoresis. Gene frequencies in spring-summer-fall field collections
Collections of D. melanogaster were analyzed for genetic variation at nine enzyme loci. Allelic .frequencies were determined, and comparisons between observed phenotypic proportions and those expected under equilibrium conditions were made. A significant tendency toward homozygote excess was noted.
Drosophila melanogaster from naturally occurring populations in the Eastern United States were examined by gel electrophoresis for their alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) phenotype. The ADH enzymes were partially purified and characterized. Frequencies of the controlling alleles, Adh 4 and Adh 6, were dis
