In every beehive, there is one queen bee who lays all the eggs. If an egg is not fertilised, it hatches into a male bee, called drone. If an egg is fertilised, it hatches into a lady worker bee, which does not lay any eggs. a. Consider a drone. How many parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great-great grandparents, great-great-great grandparents, great-great-great- great grandparents does it have? b. Write a mathematical sentence which can be used to represent the number grandparents a drone has during a particular generation.

2) The more impressive the tail of a male peacock, the higher its chances of finding a mate. Female peacocks choose mates based on the color of the feathers and the overall physical prowess of the animal. However, a genetic mutation called leucism can produce a peacock with only white feathers. This mutation causes the inability of pigment to be deposited into their feathers which results in a white appearance. What would you infer to be the fitness of the white peacock? Choose ALL that apply. A) The females will equally choose the brightly colored and white peacocks as mates. Eliminate B) White peacocks are highly prized, thought to symbolize purity, eternity, and unconditional love, making them desirable mates.
