Abstract
The isolation and characterization of heterozygous diploids of the cellular slime mould
Dictyostelium discoideum
is described. The diploids are extremely unstable, and haploidization occurs through transient aneuploidy. These genetic and cytological observations suggest that
D
.
discoideum
has a para-sexual cycle and previous reports by others of genetic recombination in this organism can be explained on this assumption.
