Question

Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. In which case will crossing over have greater impact on genetic variation?

Answer 1

Diploid cells are like daughter cells coming from a mother cell called a haploid cell. So the more daughter cells are born, the greater the chance of getting hybrids and creating more diversity on the genetic races existing. In this case, the answer would have to be honeybees.
