Question

Haploid plants are preferred over diploids for mutation study because in haploids

Options:

A . Recessive mutation express immediately

B . Induction of mutation is easier

C . Culturing is easier

D . Dominant mutation express immediately

Answer: Option A
:
A
Haploid plants are useful in mutation studies becausea recessive mutation will be observed immediately in a haploid plant as the genotype can be identified from the phenotype. In case of diploid plants,a recessive mutation of a dominant gene will be covered by a corresponding dominant allele and the mutation will not be observed until segregation. So haploid plants are preferred over diploids for mutation study because of their clear/obvious expression.
