One reason that worker bees forgo their own reproduction to help their sister (the queen) reproduce is that female bees are more closely related to their sisters than they are to their own offspring. This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.
Which of the statements is FALSE?
Somatic cells are diploid in diploid organisms.
Gametes are produced from meiosis by germline cells.
Somatic cells are capable of both mitosis and meiosis.
Somatic cells and gametes from the same organism have different chromosomal complements.
In order to sexually reproduce, multicellular organisms utilize a process called ______. The type of daughter cells produced by meiosis - sex cells
are called ______. Eggs and sperm contain only one copy of each chromosome, so they are _____. A cell that undergoes meiosis
produces ______ genetically unique daughter cells.
