Question

How many honey bees in the list given below are haploid?
Queen, Drone, Soldiers, Nurse bee

Answer 1

Hint: Honeybees kind of wasps and flying insects. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. They are important for the process of pollination and the process can consume time without them. They live on nectar and pollen. They live in colonies.

Complete answer:
Among the honey bees, the Drone is haploid. They are developed from and earn fertilized eggs and are therefore haploid. Male bees are known as drones and are involved in mating with a queen from other bees. After the mating, they immediately die. If they are not able to mate, then they can leave up to 90 days which is as a worker bee can live. They consist of big round bodies and large eyes and are incapable of stinging. They carry one type of allele on each chromosomal position as they are haploid. They have reproductive functions. Each drone can grow from the queen’s unfertilized haploid egg and they serve as a medium to mate with a new queen to fertilize her egg. They fly in the early afternoon.

Additional Information: Queen: Queen bees are adult mated females which live in a honey bee colony or hive. It is the mother of all the bees in the beehive. The worker bees collect the larvae and feed them especially to develop the sexually mature queen. The worker bees select the nectar and pollen during the warm days. Male bees are for pollinating purposes and their primary function is to mate with a queen bee. After the copulation, they fall to the ground and die.
Soldiers: They are larger and heavier than the worker bees. They consist of larger legs and smaller heads with the tube leading to the entrance of the nest which provides early warning from attack by robber bees. Robber bees can kill the entire colonies when raiding nests for food. They are specialized to protect themselves and their nestmates by performing the task.
Nurse bee: Nurse bees stay in larva for eight to ten days. During the larva stage, they were visited approximately 1300 times per day by nurse bees. Feeding is quick which depends upon the age. The nurse bees are responsible for the castes and sexes of bees. It cares for the brood that is the next generation of honeybees very seriously.
So, the correct answer is 'drone'.

Note: They are the most important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Delicious honey is made by bees which produce a buzzing sound. The special food prepared for Queen bees by worker bees is known as Royal jelly. They fly around 25 kilometers per hour and consist of 170 odorant receptors. On average, a bee lives for about six weeks.
