Meiosis Lab Part 3B #2 Examining Crossing-over using Sordaria
Two strains of Sordaria(wild type/tan mutant) inoculated on a plate of agar. Where the mycelia of the two strains meet, fruiting bodies called perithecia develop. Meiosis occurs within the perithecia during the formation of asci, or a sac that contains haploid ascospores (gametes). perithicia Sordariafimicola, a fungus
You will take a prepared slide of Sordaria and using the 10x objective, observe a group of hybrid asci, containing both tan and black ascospores. Count at least 50 hybrid asci and enter your data in Table 3.3.
