Answer 1

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU

Haploid plants are the plants possessing only a single set of chromosomes in the sporophyte.

In vitro production of haploids is of great significance in plant breeding programmes. By the process of androgenesis to produce haploids, followed by chromosome doubling, it is possible to develop exclusive male plants. The male plants are particularly useful when their productivity and applications are much more than female plants. Disease resistance genes can be introduced while producing haploids.
