Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Neurospora is used as genetic material because
A
it has short life cycle of 10 days
B
the product of single meiosis can be easily analysed
C
meiotic products are linearly arranged in the form of ordered tetrads
D
is a diploid fungus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: It has a short life-span of 10days and both dominant and recessive factors can be easily expressed in it. Answer: Because dominant and recessive are easily expressed in it.

Detailed explanation-2: -English: Neurospora crassa life cycle. The haploid mycelium reproduces asexually by two processes: (1) simple proliferation of existing mycelium, and (2) formation of conidia (macro-and micro-) which can be dispersed and then germinate to produce new mycelium.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
