Kingdom: Fungi
Phylum: Ascomycota
• Know how to identify crossing
over (recombinants).
• Know how to determine map
distances (between
centromere and gene as well
as between genes).

breaks open to release asci
Sordaria fimicola
• bears its sexual (meiotic) ascospores in a
sac called an ascus
• asci are borne in a special fruiting structure
called a perithecium
