Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 13TYU
In questions 13 and 14, decide whether each is an example of sexual or asexual reproduction, and state why.
13. A diploid queen honeybee produces haploid eggs by meiosis. Some of these eggs are never fertilized and develop into haploid male honeybees (drones).

Which statements describe sexual reproduction? offspring is a combination of DNA from two parents produces offspring that are identical to the parents diploid parent organisms produce haploid offspring uses gamete cells produced by meiosis
Fertilization is the fusion of haploid gametes, ovum and spermatozoon, to form a diploid zygote. Discuss physiologic mechanisms in the male and the female that make sure that indeed only one sperm fertilizes a single egg
