The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Honey Bee Reproduction**: Honey bees exhibit a unique reproductive system known as haplodiploidy. In this system, females (queens and workers) are diploid (2n), while males (drones) are haploid (n). 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Haplodiploid sex determination type." - This statement is **correct**. Honey bees do exhibit haplodiploidy, where fertilized eggs develop into diploid females and unfertilized eggs develop into haploid males. - **Statement 2**: "Males may have father as well as sons." - This statement is **incorrect**. Males (drones) do not have fathers; they develop from unfertilized eggs and therefore do not have a male parent. They cannot have sons because they are haploid and do not contribute genetic material to offspring in the traditional sense. - **Statement 3**: "Queen forms gamete by meiosis." - This statement is **correct**. The queen bee undergoes meiosis to produce haploid eggs, which can then be fertilized to form diploid females. - **Statement 4**: "Workers develop from the union of a sperm and an egg." - This statement is **correct**. Worker bees are produced from fertilized eggs, which means they develop from the union of sperm and egg. 3. **Conclusion**: The incorrect statement regarding honey bees is the second one: "Males may have father as well as sons." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement for honey bees is: **"Males may have father as well as sons."** ---
