Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a haploid organism,the genome consists of only one set of chromosomes $(n)$.Since there is only one copy of each gene present in the cell,there is no second allele to mask the expression of a recessive allele.Therefore,any allele present,whether dominant or recessive,will be expressed phenotypically.This is why haploid organisms are ideal for genetic studies involving mutations,as even recessive mutations are immediately expressed.

$A$ haploid organism can express both recessive and dominant alleles/mutations because there is/are .........
