उत्तर
In the honeybee, the haplodiploid sex-determination system determines the sex of the offspring. In this system, sex is determined by the number of sets of chromosomes an individual receives. An offspring developed from fertilized egg develops as a female and unfertilized egg develops in males. A female offspring shows diploid (2n = 32) number of chromosomes. Males (drones) produced by means of parthenogenesis have haploid (n = 16) number of chromosomes

Sex of an individual is determined by different factors in various species. Some animals rely entirely on the environmental ones, while in some other animals the individuals can change their sex during their life time indicating that sex of some species is not genetically determined. However in human beings, the sex of an individual is largely determined genetically.
