Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loss of function mutations in haploid organisms, such as bacteria, result in a complete loss of function since there is only one copy of each gene. In diploid or triploid organisms, loss of function mutations may not cause complete loss of function since there are still other copies of the gene present.
