Abstract
Liver and pancreas mannosephosphate isomerase of the guinea fowl was examined electrophoretically. Three electrophoretic patterns, designated as A, AB and B, were observed in a closed population of the species (Galor strain). Mating experiments indicated that these phenotypes are controlled by autosomal codominant genes, which are symbolyzed as MPI-IA and MPI- IB. Of a total of 161 individuals examined, 59, 82 and 20 were classified as A, AB and B, respectively.
