    Read the following statements and find out the correct statements. The sex determination in honey bee is based on the number of sets of chromosomes an individual receives. An offspring formed from the union of a sperm and an egg develops as a female (queen or worker), and an unfertilized egg develops as a male (drone) by means of parthenogenesis. The females are diploid having 32 chromosomes and males are haploid, i.e., having 16 chromosomes. This is called as haplo-diploid sex-determination system and has special characteristic features such as the males produce sperms by mitosis they do not have father and thus cannot have sons, but have a grandfather and can have grandsons.

    Which of the following statements are correct regarding honey bees? (i) Drones abdomen contains wax glands and sting. (ii) Apis indica is an indigenous species whereas Apis mellifera is an exotic species. (iii) Honey bees are highly colonial, social and polymorphic insects. (iv) Workers are fertile females and perform various duties of the colony. (v) Queen is fertile female which lays eggs and normally one queen is found in one nest.

    Which of the following statements are correct? In honey bees I. Males are haploid. 2. Workers are sterile and diploid. 3. Queen develops from diploid larvae that fed on royal jelly. 4. Honey is collected/made by males. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

    Read the following statements. (i) In haplo-diploid sex-determination system, the males do not have father and thus cannot have sons, but have a grandfather and can have grandsons (ii) In honey bee, workers are developed by the unfertilized eggs by means of parthenogenesis In human skin colour, the effect of each allele is additive In XO type of sex-determination, male have half number of chromosome than the female Select the incorrect statements.
