II. Gametogenesis occurs by mitosis in a Queen bee

Options

A. Both I,II are correct

D. Only II is correct.

Answer

To solve the question regarding the statements about honey bees, we will analyze each statement step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the First Statement**:
- The first statement claims that "daughters of a Queen bee share 3/4th of their genes."
- In honey bees, the genetic structure is unique. The Queen bee is diploid (2n), meaning she has two sets of chromosomes, while the male drones are haploid (n), meaning they have one set of chromosomes.
- When a Queen bee mates with a drone, the daughters (female worker bees) inherit half of their genes from the Queen and half from the drone. However, since the drone is haploid, the genetic contribution from the drone is identical to that of the Queen's genes.
- Therefore, on average, the daughters share 3/4th of their genes with the Queen bee because they inherit half from her and the other half from the drone, which is genetically similar to her.

2. **Understanding the Second Statement**:
- The second statement claims that "gametogenesis occurs by mitosis in a Queen bee."
- Gametogenesis is the process of forming gametes (sperm and eggs). In honey bees, this process occurs through meiosis, not mitosis.
- Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes.
- Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

3. **Conclusion**:
- Based on the analysis, the first statement is correct, and the second statement is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is that only statement number one is correct.

### Final Answer:
- Only statement number one is correct.
