RESUMO

Meiotic pairing in homothallic S. cerevisiae was studied by tetrad analysis, using strains that were trisomic or tetrasomic for chromosome I. The disomic segregants of these strains produce tetrasomic spore colonies that can be distinguished by their phenotype. Results indicated the existence of preferential pairing and nonrandom assortment of chromosomes at meiosis I. The frequency of crossing over is apparently normal in at least some regions when non-preferred pairing occurs.
