A Neurospora colony at the edge of a plate seemed to be sparse (low density) in comparison with the other colonies on the plate. This colony was thought to be a possible mutant, and so it was removed and crossed with a wild type of the opposite mating type. From this cross, 100 ascospore progeny were obtained. None of the colonies from these ascospores was sparse, all appearing to be normal. What is the simplest explanation of this result? How would you test your explanation? (Note: Neurospora is haploid.)
One yeast strain carries the alleles lys+ and arg+, whereas another strain has lys-3 and arg-2. The two strains were crossed toeach other, and an ascus obtained from this cross has four spores with the following genotypes: lys+ arg+, lys+ arg-2, lys-3arg+, and lys-3 arg 2. This ascus has
a. a parental ditype.b. a tetratype.c. a nonparental ditype.d. either a tetratype or a nonparental ditype.
A yeast geneticist irradiates haploid cells of a strain that is an adenine-requiring auxotrophic mutant, caused by mutation of the gene ade1. Millions of the irradiated cells 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 of results.b. Write the genotypes of the prototrophs in each case.c. What progeny phenotypes and ratios do you predict from crossing a prototroph of type 2 by the original ade1auxotroph?
