The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the four statements provided and identify which ones are incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement I**: - The statement claims that in honeybees, males develop from fertilized eggs and females from unfertilized eggs. - This is incorrect. In honeybees (Apis), males (drones) develop from unfertilized eggs (arrhenotoky), while females (workers and queens) develop from fertilized eggs. - **Conclusion**: Statement I is incorrect. 2. **Evaluate Statement II**: - The statement states that in thelytoky, haploid unfertilized eggs parthenogenetically develop into females. - This is correct. Thelytoky is a form of parthenogenesis where unfertilized eggs develop into females, commonly seen in certain aphids. - **Conclusion**: Statement II is correct. 3. **Evaluate Statement III**: - The statement claims that heterogamy is the alteration between parthenogenesis and asexual reproduction. - This is incorrect. Heterogamy refers to the alternation between sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis, not asexual reproduction. - **Conclusion**: Statement III is incorrect. 4. **Evaluate Statement IV**: - The statement asserts that parthenogenesis occurs naturally during reproduction in ants and aphids. - This is correct. Parthenogenesis does occur naturally in some species of ants and aphids. - **Conclusion**: Statement IV is correct. ### Summary of Findings: - Incorrect statements: I and III - Correct statements: II and IV ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are I and III.
