Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination involves classical crossing-over and gene conversion (aberrant segregation). In fungi that produce an ascus containing four spores, a gene conversion event is manifested as 3:1 or 1:3 (or more rarely 4:0 or 0:4) segregations, in contrast to the normal mendelian 2:2 segregation. Polarity is one of the properties of gene conversion; in almost all cases the frequency of conversion exhibits a...
