- Hymenopteran Insects ( Bees, Ants, and Wasps) use the haplo/diploid sex determination system to determine sex of offspring. Describe how the female determines the sex of her offspring in this system.arrow_forwardWhat prevents an individual from mating with itself?arrow_forwardf you had two guinea pigs of opposite sex, both homozygous, one black and one brown, but you didn't know which was the dominant characteristic, how would you find out the dominant color? Select one: a. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-the other will be the dominant color b. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-that will be the dominant color c. The dominant color could not be determined by mating the two, then mating their offspring; further generations would have to be produced to determine the dominant color d. Mate them together, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-the other color will be the dominant color e. Mate them, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-that will be the dominant colorarrow_forward
