In examining a large sample of yeast colonies on a petridish, a geneticist finds an abnormal-looking colonythat is very small. This small colony was crossed withwild type, and products of meiosis (ascospores) werespread on a plate to produce colonies. In total, therewere 188 wild-type (normal-size) colonies and 180small ones.a. What can be deduced from these results regardingthe inheritance of the small-colony phenotype? (Inventgenetic symbols.)b. What would an ascus from this cross look like?
