Similar variation in Africa and Asia
Variation only in Asia and no variation in Africa

Haploid plants are preferred over diploids for mutation study because in haploids
Recessive mutation express immediately
Induction of mutations is easier
Culturing is easier
Dominant mutation express immediately

Autopolyploid in origin
Allopolyploid in origin
Mixed genotypic in origin
Heterozygous in origin
