First, tetraploids continue to bud in stationary phase, whereas haploids arrest as unbudded cells. |
We conclude that the haploids had a greater frequency of mutant phenotypes than the diploids. |
Following selection, haploids produce gametes mitotically and diploids produce gametes meiotically that then enter the random mating pool. |
Meiosis is the program used by sexually reproducing organisms to produce haploids from diploid precursors. |
Previous work has calculated the covariance expected under autosomal inheritance in diploids and haploids. |
Zebrafish can also be made to develop as haploids by fertilizing the egg with sperm heavily irradiated with ultraviolet light. |
