If CaCET1 were nonessential, then recombination of UAU1 into the second copy of CaCET1 (to generate cacet1::UAU1/cacet1::UAU1 ) followed by excisional recombination of ARG4 in one allele to restore URA3 (generating cacet1::UAU1/cacet1::URA3 ) would result in the selected Arg +Ura +phenotype with complete loss of the wild-type CaCET1 locus.
