Haploid organisms such as protists, fungi and algae have only one gene for a trait and will express the phenotypes of any kind of mutations because there is no hindrance of dominance. On the other hand, diploid organisms such as the Drosophila and pea have two alleles, one in each homologous chromosome. The haploid organisms […]
