Evidence for Mitotic Recombination within the Basidia of a Hybrid Cross of Cryptococcus neoformans

Abstract excerpt

In the majority of diploid eukaryotes, each meiotic process generates four haploid gametes with each containing a single recombinant nucleus. In some species and/or some meiotic processes, aneuploid or diploid gametes can also be generated due to chromosomal non-disjunction and/or the co-packaging of two of the four haploid nuclei into the same gamete. Here we show that another process is involved in generating...
