Uniparental Inheritance

$60.00 – $100.00

Nuclear mutations in Chlamydomonas segregate 2:2 in meiotic tetrads, whereas chloroplast mutations are transmitted only by the mating type plus parent in most zygotes, producing a 4:0 segregation pattern. Some years ago Jacqueline Hoffman at Washington University developed a laboratory exercise using chloroplast antibiotic mutations in both mating types that has proved to be a classic experiment for demonstrating uniparental inheritance in college genetics courses. Uniparental Inheritance kit: cultures of antibiotic resistant mutants, detailed instructions, antibiotics, stock solutions for culture media. If you’d prefer to provide your own antibiotics (streptomycin and erythromycin), we can ship just the cultures and instructions.
