Non-Mendelian Segregation from Heterozygotic Yeast Asci

Nature volume 165, pages 157–158 (1950)Cite this article

Abstract

IF M denotes a gene for the production of maltase and m its allelomorph, which is unable to produce the enzyme, a heterozygotic 4-spored yeast ascus originally having the formula Mm would be expected to yield a simple Mendelian segregation ratio of 2 : 2; that is, two of the spores should give rise to maltose-fermenting types, while the other two spores should give rise to non-fermenting types.
