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
Please answer fast
Sexual reproduction is a way to create genetic variation in the offspring.a. Describe in which circumstances this is desired.b. Describe the three different processes in a sexual life cycle that create genetic variation.For each process, describe in detail during which part or phase the sexual life cycle ittakes place.c. Consider this diploid animal cell in G1 phase. What is the haploid and the diploid number of this cell?
