Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because:

1. haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids
2. mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than diploids
3. haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
4. all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids

Correct answer: all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids

Solution

Haploids carry only one copy of each gene, so any mutation is immediately visible in the phenotype. In diploids, a normal allele can mask recessive mutations, making them harder to detect.
