Answer:

Haploid organisms contain a single allele per locus.

Explanation:

Haploid species will always have only one allele present for any given locus. These organisms possess one full set of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Although most species are typically diploid, there are exceptions (for instance, male bees, ants, and wasps develop from an unfertilized egg). Hence, in haploid organisms, the frequencies of alleles and genotypes are identical. It is also noteworthy that the remaining three alleles will be allocated among the other haploid individuals in the population.
