a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The deduction from the results regarding the inheritance of the small colony
Introduction: The genotype is the genetic constitution of the organism while the phenotype is the external characters visible in an organism.
b.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The appearance of ascus from the cross of wild and mutant strain.
Introduction: The bread mold or the Saccharomyces cerevisiae is extensively studied in the field of genetics. The fusion of the gametes gives rise to the spores that are in a specific structure called ascus. The spores formed are eight in number and follow Mendelian genetics. The four spores contain one allele while the other four spores contain the second allele.

In the haploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the twomating types are known as MATa and MATα. You cross apurple (ad-) strain of mating type a and a white (ad+)strain of mating type α. If ad- and ad+ are alleles of onegene, and a and α are alleles of an independently inherited gene on a separate chromosome pair, what progenydo you expect to obtain? In what proportions?
Deduce the phenotypic proportions in the progeny of thefollowing crosses of autotetraploids in which the a+/a locus is very close to the centromere. (Assume that the fourhomologous chromosomes of any one type pair randomly two by two and that only one copy of the a+ allele isnecessary for the wild-type phenotype.)a. a+/a+/a/a × a/a/a /ab. a+/a/a /a × a/a/a/ac. a+/a/a /a × a+/a/a /ad. a+/a+/a /a × a+/a/a /a
