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 in diploids |
| 3. | haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids |
| 4. | all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids |
