The possibility that primary CRM isolates at the td locus of Neurospora crassa are multisite lesions has been examined. By comparing the behavior of primary CRM mutants to known multisite CRM mutants in the genetic tests of recombination and reversion, it can be concluded that primary CRM mutants are not multisite. The genetic implications of a CRM and CRM+ mutant have been discussed.
