A yeast geneticist irradiates haploid cells of a strain thatis an adenine-requiring auxotrophic mutant, caused bymutation of the gene ade1. Millions of the irradiatedcells are plated on minimal medium, and a small number of cells divide and produce prototrophic colonies.These colonies are crossed individually with a wildtype strain. Two types of results are obtained:(1) prototroph × wild type : progeny all prototrophic(2) prototroph × wild type : progeny 75% prototrophic,25% adenine-requiring auxotrophsa. Explain the difference between these two types ofresults.b. Write the genotypes of the prototrophs in each case.c. What progeny phenotypes and ratios do you predictfrom crossing a prototroph of type 2 by the original ade1auxotroph?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
