Allozyme and RFLP heterozygosities as correlates of growth rate in the scallop Placopecten magellanicus: a test of the associative overdominance hypothesis.

Genetics - 1 May 1994

Pogson G H, Zouros E

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have reported positive correlations between the degree of enzyme heterozygosity and fitness-related traits. Notable among these are the correlations between heterozygosity and growth rate in marine bivalves. Whether the correlation is the result of intrinsic functional differences between enzyme variants at the electrophoretic loci scored or arises from non-random genotypic associations between...
