Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because
Correct answer: B. All mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids
- 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.
Explanation
Haploid plants, are always pure because they possess only one set of chromosomes. So, the mutations are expressed very easily in haploid plants as compared to diploid plants.
