INSTRUCTIONS
1. Completed report sheets will provide the basis for your course work (lab report – 10%)
assessment mark in BIO 511.
2. Make sure your name is clearly written in the space provided on the front of this report
sheet.
3. In completing the report sheets:
a) Do not expand any written answer beyond the space provided for.
b) Sketches and diagrams should fill the space provided and should be made
with pencil.

RESULTS:
A. Data table

Slide 1 Slide 2 Slide 3

Ascospores ratio
4:4

Ascopores ratio
2:2:2:2

Ascospores ratio
2:4:2

Total

B. Calculation

1. Percentage of Crossing Over

The crossover value (COV) is calculated using

this formula:

No. of individuals showing recombination X 100

Number of offspring

2. The distance of the gene responsible for spore color from the centromere

Formula for map distance:

DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION:

Discuss how crossing over produces 2:2:2:2 or 2:4:2 rather than 4:4 spore arrangement. use
hand-drawn diagram to show how you get both arrangement of ascospores by crossing
over.
