Neurospora - an ascomycetes fungus has been used as a biological tool
to understand the mechanism of plant genetics much in the same way
as Drosophila has been used to study animal genetics. What makes
Neurospora so important as a genetic tool?

Answer:
It is because of the following reasons :
(a) It is haploid so recessive traits can be studied.
(b) A lot of information is available about its genome.
As a result of sexual reproduction, it produces 8 ascospres which show a specific arrangement. This helps to study recombination.
