Question

Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because

• A. Haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids.
• B. All mutations, whether dominant or recessive, are expressed in haploids.
• C. Haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids.
• D. Mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than in diploids.

Answer 1

The correct option is B All mutations, whether dominant or recessive, are expressed in haploids.

All mutations will be easily expressed in haploids and thus they are preferred to study more about mutation. Mutation is a sudden heritable change in the germplasm of an organism.
