Summary
This article proposes to examine some of the population consequences of a system of different isoalleles whose frequency in the population is determined by the mutation rate and by random drift, and considers three possibilities: A system of selectively neutral isoallels, a systemof mutually heterotic alleles, and a mixture of heterotic and harmful mutants.
