Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of sexual reproduction because it involves the fusion of haploid male and female gametes (sperm and eggs) to produce a diploid zygote that develops into a new individual. The production of haploid males is part of the honeybee life cycle and is a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the population.
