Vedclass · Answer

(D) Neurospora crassa is often referred to as the 'Drosophila of the plant kingdom' because it is an ideal model organism for genetic studies.$1$. It has a short life cycle,allowing for rapid generation of data.$2$. It is a haploid organism,which means that recessive mutations are immediately expressed in the phenotype,making them easy to detect and study.$3$. It can be easily cultured in a laboratory on simple,defined media.$4$. It produces ordered ascospores,which allow for the analysis of meiotic products (tetrad analysis),facilitating the study of recombination and gene mapping.
