Abstract
Manalaysay, Trisha Michelle V. March 2004 University of the Philippines Los Banos. Protein Polymorphism in Philippine Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos Linn.) sampled from Bayog Los Banos Laguna. Adviser: Dr. Adelina A. Barrion, Institute of Biological Sciences (IBS) Protein polymorphism in mallard ducks, Anus platyrhynchos Linn from Bayog, Los Banos Laguna that was analyzed using starch gel electrophoresis resulted to 14 presumptive loci encoding to two proteins (albumin (Alb) transferin (Trf)), and three enzymes (acid phosphatase (ACPH), alkaline phosphatase (ALPH), and esterase (EST)). ACPH 2, MPH 2 and EST 4 were found to be monomorphic while the rest were polymorphic in both sexes. In general, in terms of presumptive allelozymes in each locus, S (slow), and F (fast) were observed. The two allelozymes can be found in all loci in females except for Trf 3, ACPH 2, ALPH 2 and EST 4 while in males at loci 7)12, Trf 3, ACPH 1, ACPH 3 and EST 3 The degree of polymorphism in females was calculated to be 0.714, which was significantly higher than that of males (0.357). The average heterozygosity of female was also found to be higher (0.349) than in males (0.249).
