The recombination between the methA alleles of Aspergillus nidulans is very strongly polarized. The mutants can be mapped in respect to each other and in respect to the flanking markers, both on the basis of the relative frequency of one of the P classes and one of the R classes. In all crosses it is the distal mutant which converts predominantly.

In one combination of the mutants crossed the low temperature at which meiosis proceeded increased recombination frequency and modified the recombination pattern.
