AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that in honey bees, males are haploid and females are diploid. This is indeed true. In honey bees, males (drones) develop from unfertilized eggs and thus have only one set of chromosomes (haploid), while females (workers and queen) develop from fertilized eggs and have two sets of chromosomes (diploid). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is that sex depends on paired and unpaired chromosomes in every organism. This statement is too broad and not universally applicable. While it is true that in some organisms, sex determination can be influenced by the number of paired or unpaired chromosomes (like in grasshoppers), in others, such as humans, sex is determined by specific sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males). 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because it accurately describes the chromosomal makeup of male and female honey bees. - The reason is false because it generalizes the mechanism of sex determination across all organisms, which is not accurate. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
