SUMMARYThe charge state model of Ohta & Kimura (1973) for the number of electrophoretically detectable alleles in a finite population, is extended to include mutations of both one and two charge changes. The effective number of alleles (ne) is increased only slightly by this extension. Electrophoretic profiles of neutral variants are shown on average to be leptokurtic and have their odd central moments equal to zero. The expected frequency distribution of pairs of gametes which differ by 1,2,3,… charge units can be obtained as the sum of the appropriate terms from two geometric series.

ABSTRACT The extent of divergence between partially isolated sub-populations for electrophoretically detectable alleles was formulated assuming the island model of migration and the charge state model of mutation. At equilibrium the ratio of the variance of charge between the means of k different islands to the average within-island variance of charge was shown to be approximately 4Nemk  2/(k-1)2 where Ne is the effective size of each island population and m is the migration rate. This ratio was calculated from published data for eight polymorphic loci in six island populations of Drosophila willistoni . Under the assumption that all variants are selectively neutral, migration rates of greater than 10 adults per generation per island are required to explain the observed similarity of the allelic profiles in D. willistoni . Since the islands studied appear to be virtually completely isolated it was concluded either that the observed protein variants are adaptive and maintained in populations by some form of balancing selection or that the observed variants themselves are neutral but natural selection acts to restrict the appearance of more extreme variants in the charge carried.

ABSTRACT The statistical assessment of gene-frequency data on protein polymorphisms in natural populations remains a contentious issue. Here we formulate a test of whether polymorphisms detected by electrophoresis are in accordance with the stepwise, or charge-state, model of mutation in finite populations in the absence of selection. First, estimates of the model parameters are derived by minimizing chi-square deviations of the observed frequencies of genotypes with alleles (0,1,2…) units apart from their theoretical expected values. Then the remaining deviation is tested under the null hypothesis of neutrality. The procedure was found to be conservative for false rejections in simulation data. We applied the test to Ayala and Tracey 's data on 27 allozymic loci in six populations of Drosophila willistoni. About one-quarter of polymorphic loci showed significant departure from the neutral theory predictions in virtually all populations. A further quarter showed significant departure in some populations. The remaining data showed an acceptable fit to the charge state model. A predominating mode of selection was selection against alleles associated with extreme electrophoretic mobilities. The advantageous properties and the difficulties of the procedure are discussed.

ABSTRACT The charge-state model of electrophoretic variation was tested by comparing the distances between nearest electromorphs of five enzyme loci within polymorphic species and among pooled species of sea anemone. If the charge-state model is generally true, and in particular if it allows linear distance between electromorphs to be used as a measure of genetic distance, then electromorphs of different species should be on the same "mobility ladder". Therefore, distances between adjacent electromorphs should be approximately equal for the two sets of comparisons. It was found that distances between adjacent electromorphs for each locus were significantly smaller for the pooled comparisons than within polymorphic species. Thus, it was concluded that much of the variation detected among different species does not conform to the charge-state model, and therefore that distance between electromorphs per se would not be a good measure of genetic distance. However, the charge-state model does appear to adequately account for most of the variation existing as common polymorphisms within species, or between very closely related species. Possible reasons for this apparent difference in the nature of the variation seen within and among species are discussed.
