Summary of Chi-Square values across the replica tests for the respective isolatesa.

aFor each isolate the corresponding degrees of freedom(df)* was calculated as (n−1), where n is the number of transfers per isolate.b, cCombined replica data for respective meiosis and mitosis chi-square values as determined in supplementary information (Table S1). These data are based on five sequential rounds of either mitotic transfers or sexual crosses for each isolate.dThe corresponding chi-square value when a 99.999% level of confidence is applied at 4 degrees of freedom. The level of significance was established on the basis of the χ2prediction been greater or less than the respective replica isolate χ2value. Thus, values in bold denote significant levels of change, whilst the clear blocks denote non-significant change.
