Summary of Chi-Square values across the replica tests for the respective isolates^a.

a<p>For each isolate the corresponding degrees of freedom(df)* was calculated as (n−1), where n is the number of transfers per isolate.</p>b, c<p>Combined replica data for respective meiosis and mitosis chi-square values as determined in supplementary information (<b><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0059355#pone.0059355.s004" target="_blank">Table S1</a></b>). These data are based on five sequential rounds of either mitotic transfers or sexual crosses for each isolate.</p>d<p>The 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.
