The goal of this lab was to carefully determine the genotype of the four haploid yeast strains as well as conclude whether or not the genes were linked and complemented each other. After analysis of the phenotypes in figure 5, one could conclude that these genes are linked however, because of the blanks in the sample and the size of the sample itself the results may not be 100% accurate. Genes would be considered linked if nonparental ditypes are at a lower frequency in comparison to parental ditypes. The difficult process of this experiment would have to be analyzing the growth that occurred on the cells because when streaking we might've taken too many cells.
