Haploids are preferred over diploids for mutation studies because in haploids

1. recessive mutations express immediately
2. dominant mutations express immediately
3. mutations are readily induced
4. tissue culture is easy

Correct answer: recessive mutations express immediately

Solution

In haploids, each gene is present in a single copy, so a recessive mutation cannot be hidden by a normal allele. That makes mutant phenotypes appear right away and easier to detect.
