The a, b, and c loci are all on different chromosomesin yeast. When a b+ yeast were crossed to a+ b yeastand the resultant tetrads analyzed, it was found thatthe number of nonparental ditype tetrads was equal tothe number of parental ditypes, but there were no tetratype asci at all. On the other hand, many tetratypeasci were seen in the tetrads formed after a c+ wascrossed with a+ c, and after b c+ was crossed withb+ c. Explain these results.

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.
