description

Isozymes maybe generated by different enzyme loci (a) (isoenzymes), (b) alleles of a locus (allozymes) or (c) post-translational modifications (secondary isozymes). Differences in isozyme numbers and isoenzyme properties can be used for evolutionary studies. But quantitations of genetic variation among or within populations are obtainable only from allozyme frequencies.
