In bees, the female queen bee is diploid but male bees are haploid. The fertilized eggs develop into female bees and the unferti

Actually make does not do any meiosis in his life ! gametes are produced via mitosis ! so the ploidy level is maintained ie haploid !

Answer:

It differs in the sense that male bees do not undergo a reduction cell division, they undergo mitotic division to produce gametes instead.

Explanation:

First of all, this phenomenon in bees is called HAPLODIPLOIDY i.e. a system where one sex is haploid and the other diploid. As stated in the question, the fertilized egg (by sperm) becomes the female bee (haploid sperm + haploid egg= diploid bee) while the unfertilized egg (haploid bee) becomes the male bee.

In as much as fertilization occurs, it means that gametes are produced via meiosis. Meiosis, normally, is the kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) with a reduced number of chromosome (by half). But in this system (haploidiploidy), only the female bee undergoes meiosis to produce the egg cell, the male does not in its production of sperm cells.

Since the male bee is haploid, it can no longer undergo a reduction division (normal meiosis). Instead, it undergoes mitosis, which is a division that produces identical cells with same chromosome number, to produce haploid sperm cells, which then fuses with some of the haploid egg cells to give rise to the diploid female bee. The haploid egg that does not get fertilized eventually develops into the haploid male.

MrMuchimi
The correct options are as follows:
1. C
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintains constant internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis is very important because the survival of the living organism depend on it. In order to maintain homeostasis, the amount of wastes, nutrients and water that is in an organism must be controlled and maintained at optimum level.
2. A.
An organism that can not maintain an homeostasis will die. This is because, lack of homeostasis will disrupt the biochemical reactions which sustains the life activities of the organism and once the biochemical reactions that produce life energy can no longer take place the organism will die.
3. A.
For both unicellular and multi cellular organisms, when they are exposed to water containing no salt, much of the water will move into their cells. This happened because, the level of salt in the interior of the living cells is higher and so the water will move from the medium which has no salt to the inside to the cell where there is salt. This process is known as osmosis. In osmosis water move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of low salt concentration level to the region of higher salt level concentration.
4. D.
Cells in living organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by specializing in specific functions and by working together in cooperatively. Each cell has its own functions which it performs; in the process of its duty, it communicates with other cells which also help it in order to achieve common goals, which is maintenance of homeostasis within the cell.

Predict the long-term effects of these limiting factors on the cricket frog population: If predators continue to increase, then the cricket frog population will deacrease. If pollution continues to increase, then the cricket frog population will increase. If food sources continue to decrease, then the cricket frog population will deacrease.
