Question

Haploids are preferred over diploids for mutations studies because in haploids

• A. Recessive mutations express immediately
• B. Dominant mutations express immediately
• C. Mutations are readily induced
• D. Tissue culture is easy

Answer 1

The correct option is A Recessive mutations express immediately

Haploid plants are preferred over diploids for mutation study because of their clear/obvious expression. In nature mutations are generally recessive. in case of a diploid it is difficult to trace out the recessive mutation as its dominant gene is present on other chromosome.

So, the correct answer is 'Recessive mutations express immediately'.
