To consider the problem of the increase of genetic variability due to electrophoretically cryptic alleles, the equally degenerate electromorph model is proposed. Mutation, random sampling drift and selection can be incorporated in this model. Simple formulas are obtained to show how genetic variability increases when cryptic alleles are distinguished. This model is extended to a two-population system to see the effect of cryptic allele variation on genetic differentiation.
