Correct answer: D. Form perfect homozygous.
- A. Require one half of nutrients
- B. Are helpful in study of meiosis
- C. Grow better under adverse conditions
- D. Form perfect homozygous.
Explanation
In crop movement programme, haploids are important because they form perfect homozygous lines. Homozygous are the pure line selection plants resulting from self-pollination. In this way, considerable homozygosity is obtained. Haploids are those plants that possess a gametophytic number of chromosomes. Haploids are used in plant breeding, especially for the production of homozygous plants and in their studies in the detection of mutation.
