Summary of gene conversion results from color mutants crossed to wild types from SFS or NFS, using unbiased data from conversions to wild type only
| Color mutations and the kinds of wild type (wt) to which they were crossed, from south- or north-facing slopes | Total asci with conversion to wild type | Asci with conversion to wild type | % of asci with postmeiotic segregation among asci with conversion to wild type | ||

See Table 4 for details, including within-slope variation. Significant (*) or highly significant (**) χ2 values, after making the Bonferroni correction for multiple tests; because there are 10 tests, the usual significance levels of 0.05 and 0.01 are each divided by 10. *P ≤ 0.005; **P ≤ 0.001.
