Question

In the haplodiploidy system observed in honeybees, unfertilized eggs develop into which type of individual?

पर्याय

• Both males and females equally

• Haploid males

• Diploid females

• Triploid individuals

Answer 1

In the haplodiploidy system found in honeybees, ants, and wasps, unfertilized eggs develop into haploid males (with n chromosomes). In contrast, fertilized eggs develop into diploid females (with 2n chromosomes). This system requires no sex chromosomes for sex determination; ploidy level determines sex.
