Seven ascospore colour mutants of the 164 locus of Ascobolus immersus were mapped, and their basic conversion frequencies established. Polarization of the sum of the basic conversion frequencies was observed. The recombination frequencies from the two-point crosses (in repulsion) are nonadditive. The influence of one mutant on the frequency of conversion of another in crosses in repulsion and coupling was pronounced. The frequency of crossing over between a pair of mutants was higher in the cross in repulsion than in coupling. A total of 535 asci containing a pair of wild-type spores were analysed from five crosses in repulsion. 193 6w:2d asci originated from the conversion of the proximal allele, 43 6w:2d asci from conversion of the distal allele and 277 asci exhibited reciprocal recombination. 54 6w:2d asci from one cross in coupling were analysed. These asci were classified and assigned to four classes: proximal allele conversion, distal allele conversion, reciprocal recombination and simultaneous conversion of wild type-alleles to mutants. In all classes of recombinant asci analysed the frequencies of additional exchanges in the adjacent intervals were higher than in random samples of asci. The wild-type chromatid was involved in the additional exchanges in the majority of crosses with a frequency exceeding 60%.
