Abstract

The components of phenotypic variation for mating activity, fertility and egg-adult viability were estimated in the leucine aminopeptidase-A and esterase-6 allozyme systems in Drosophila melanogaster. It was shown that variation among separate genotypes of these enzyme systems contributed considerably to the total phenotypic variation. For mating activity and fertility, 24% and 12% respectively of the total phenotypic variation was attributed to differences among allozyme genotypes, whereas for viability this component only amounted to 4%.
