It has also been assumed that enzymes, which control a variety of biochemical re- different rates of gene-controlled, qualita- tively identical reactions and has shown how such a rate concept fits a great variety of phenomena in developmental genetics. In some cases, different rates of production of pigments or of growth, controlled by differ- ent alleles, have been demonstrated by direct observation (Fig. and B). These different rates have been reported by Goldschmidt ('27) for larval pigmentation in Lymantria /^ ^^^'-''""" ('' /// v .^ Instors Ez:.

Attempts to prove this hypothesis have met with great difficulties (Emerson, '50). The examples of gene-controlled antigens and enzymes indicate that the primary prod- ucts of the action of different alleles may be qualitatively different. There are other examples which suggest quantitative differ- ence in allelic action. A series of multiple alleles of a given gene visually affects the same phenotypic trait, in a graded manner.
