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
