Abstract excerpt
In a diploid yeast population which is heterozygous for a given marker, A1A2, mitotic crossover (mit. c.o.) between the centromere and the marker will give rise to homozygous daughter cells, A1A1 and A2A2. Since this causes a decrease in the frequency of A1A2 cells, mit. c.o. is an important population genetic process in vegetatively propagated yeast cultures. The effect of mit. c.o. is counteracted by mutations...
