Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because
Haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids
mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than is diploids
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
D.
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
Haploid plants can be produced in large number by anther and ovary cultures. Haploids may be useful for isolation of mutants, since, even recessive mutant alleles will be expressed in the mutagen treated generation itself. Desirable mutants may be selected at the haploid level and their chromosome number may be doubled to obtain homozygous mutant lines in a single generation.
Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of a maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridised, the F2 segregation will show:
higher number of the recombinant types.
segregation in the expected 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio
segregation in 3 : 1 ratio
segregation in 3 : 1 ratio
Inheritance of skin colour in humans is an example of

A human male produces sperms with the genotypes AB, Ab, aB, and ab pertaining to two diallelic characters in equal proportions. What is the corresponding genotype of this person?
AaBb
AaBB
AABb
AABb
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by
crossing of one F2 progeny with male parent
crossing of one F2 progeny with female parent
studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
