The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which organism produces sperm by mitosis in males. We need to identify the correct organism from the given options. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Phase Planter Americana - Apis Mellifera (Honey Bee) - Drosophila Melanogaster (Fruit Fly) - Lepus (Rabbit) 3. **Identifying the Unique Case**: In most organisms, sperm production occurs through meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number. However, in honey bees (Apis Mellifera), males (drones) have a unique reproductive process. 4. **Understanding Honey Bee Male Reproduction**: In honey bees, males do not undergo the typical meiotic process. Instead, meiosis I is halted, leading to no reduction in chromosome number. The second meiotic division (meiosis II) occurs, which is similar to mitosis. This means that the sperm produced by male honey bees is generated through a process that is akin to mitosis. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the unique reproductive strategy of honey bees, the correct answer to the question is **Apis Mellifera**. ---
