Question 12: Why is the first step of this procedure (the mixing of haploids) performed on rich
plates?
Because they are auxotrophs, they need the appropriate nutrients to grow and then to mate. The cells can't
mate efficiently if they are not able to undergo normal metabolism.
To ensure the cells have enough nutrition to grow on the other minimal plates.
We could have used any type of plate. We happened to choose the rich plates for this experiment.
To ensure no mutations occur.
We perform this procedure on rich plates in order to create a control for the experiments. If we mixed the
haploids on UMM plates, we would not have a prototrophic control strain for the experiment.
