RESUMO

Two electrophoretic forms of erythrocytic carbonic anhydrase were found to be controlled by one autosomal locus with two codominant alleles, CAf and CA8. The gene frequencies for the CAf and CA8 alleles were found to be.15 and.85, respectively, in a sample of 53 mice from Middlesex County, New Jersey. The observed genotypic frequencies indicated that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
