Abstract
In a diploid yeast population which is heterozygous for a given marker , A(1)A(2) mitotic crossover (mit. c.o.) between the centromere and th e marker will give rise to homozygous daughter cells, A(1)A(1) and A(2 )A(2). Since this causes a decrease in the frequency of A(1)A(2) 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 and, in the case of heterosis, by selection. We present a m athematical analysis of these interactions.
