Summary

Samples of sheep's milk were used to study the occurrence of β-lactoglobulin variants of fast or slow electrophoretic mobility. The distribution of variant types between a sample of daughters and their dams was in general accord with simple Mendelian expectations for two autosomal co-dominant alleles.
