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
Answers
Answer:
Neurospora is used as a biological tool to understand the mechanism of plant genetics by the scientists. 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.
Answer:
hey mate here is your answer...
Explanation:
▶️ Neurospora a pink mould undergoes both karyogamy and meiosis in its asci. The ascospores are haploid. They show every recombination and mutation immediately. Therefore, Neurospora is best suited to study the effect of various factors and genetic phenomenon. Beadle and Tatum could find the effect of mutations on the synthesis of enzymes. They concluded that genes operate through enzymes. Neurospora is also called "founder organism of haploid genetics".
Hope it helps!☺️
