Abstract
SUMMARY: The charge state model of Ohta & Kimura (1973) for the number of electrophoretically detectable alleles in a finite population, is extended to include mutations of both one and two charge changes. The effective number of alleles (ne) is increased only slightly by this extension. Electrophoretic profiles of neutral variants are shown on average to be leptokurtic and have their odd central moments equal to zero. The expected frequency distribution of pairs of gametes which differ by 1,2,3,… charge units can be obtained as the sum of the appropriate terms from two geometric series.Keywords
