The lys-5 is mutant allele and ascospores bearing this mutant allele are white. The lys-5⁺ is wild allele and ascospores bearing this allele is black.

a.

lys-5 x lys-5*: In this cross there will be two black spores and two white spores.

b.

lys-5 x lys-5: In this cross, all the acospores would be white that is lys-5.

c.

lys-5* x lys-5*: In this cross all the four acospores would be black. That is lys-5⁺.
