Answer:
Unlike the queen bee, which has 32 chromosomes, drones have half the chromosomal charge (n= 16), so they are considered haploid.
Explanation:
The system of determination of the sex in the bees —like in other insects— is called haplodiploidy, and consists of which the females of the species possess complete charge of chromosomes, whereas the males only possess half. This is what happens with the queen bee with 32 chromosomes, while drones only have 16 chromosomes, so they are considered haploid.
Additionally, as a characteristic of haplodiploidy, males only proceed from female gametes, so they can only contribute gametes to produce females of the species.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Drones, with half of the chromosomal charge, </em><u><em>cannot be diploid</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <u><em>Monosomy and trisomy</em></u><em> are defects in the distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, which imply one chromosome less or one chromosome more in the normal chromosome charge respectively.</em>

During glycolysis, the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP:
B. the chemical bonds in glucose
Explanation:
- Glycolysis is also known as Embden-meyerhof pathway.
- It is an oxidative process in which one mole of glucose is partially oxidized into two moles of pyruvate.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
- The breakdown of six-carbon glucose into two molecules the three-carbon pyruvate occurs in ten steps.
- The first five steps of this pathway constitute the preparatory phase.This phase consumes energy during the phosphorylation of glucose.
- The preparatory phase produces two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
- The two molecules of G3P are then converted to pyruvate in the next five steps that constitute the payoff phase.
- The energy gain of glycolysis comes in this payoff phase.
- The oxidation of G3P yields a high energy molegule 1,3 -bisphosphoglycerate .
- The high energy phosphate on carbon 1 of this molecule is donated to ADP and ATP is produced.
- This synthesis of ATP is called substrate level phosphorylation because ADP phosphorylation is coupled with exergonic breakdown of a high-energy bond.
