Haploid plants are preferred over diploids for mutation study because haploids
Correct answer: A. Recessive mutation express immediately
- A. Recessive mutation express immediately
- B. Induction of mutations is easier
- C. Culturing is easier
- D. Dominant mutation expressed immediately.
Explanation
Haploids are preferred over diploids for mutation study because in haploids recessive mutation is easier. Most of the induced mutations are recessive and these have to be in double to be expressed phenotypically. Mutations are not seen in heterozygous conditions. So, in haploid plants, recessive mutation express immediately.
