Abstract
Purified alcohol dehydrogenases from olive fruit flies of genotypes SS , II, nod SI were biochemically compared The enxymes were found to dif fer in the specific activity, in the influence of pH and temperature o n activity and in the affinity with different substrate-alcohols. The probable relationships of these findings with the dramatic changes in allele frequencies observed when natural populations are introduced in the laboratory are discussed.
