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

(1) haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids

(2) mutagenes penetrate in haploids more effectively than is diploids

(3) haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids

(4) all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids
