Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most species of ants and bees have a haploid-diploid sex determination system, where females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes) while males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid (having only one set of chromosomes). This is also known as the "haplodiploidy" system. In this system, males develop from unfertilized eggs which only have one set of chromosomes - half the number found in females. The haplodiploidy sex determination system is characteristic of the order Hymenoptera, which also includes wasps.
