The haploid cross that was performed to make the diploid strain used for a tetrad analysis was MATa ade2 x MATalpha ade3. Note that ade2 and ade3 are on separate chromosomes. Write the genotype of the diploid generated by crossing the two haploids.

Solution

Since ade2 and ade3 are on different chromosomes, there is a possibility of recombination during meiosis. Hence the resulting genotypes will be MATa/MATalpha ade2/ade3.
