2008 · Q79

NEETBiologyPrinciples of Inheritance and VariationMCQ+4 / −1
Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because:
  1. A
    all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids
  2. B
    mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than in diploids
  3. C
    haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids
  4. D
    haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: A

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.
