Multiple recombinational events within a gene were studied, by tetrad analysis of multipoint intragenic crosses. It was found that a considerable proportion of double-site conversions can arise as two separate but correlated events. The same was true for conversion and crossing-over associated with it. The data point to a possibility of multiple recombinational events involving both conversions and cross-overs, occurring as successive rounds of recombination within a single recombinational process. Some of the results suggest that more than two chromatids may be involved in such a process. The results are discussed in terms of different recombination models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
