Abstract excerpt
We examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), enzyme, and morphological variation among 17 unisexual Ambystoma of hybrid origin. Electrophoretic comparison of diagnostic enzymes indicates that these unisexuals are triploid with two nuclear genomes from the bisexual species Ambystoma laterale and one fro...
