*46. Female bees are diploid, and male bees are haploid. The haploid males produce sperm and can successfully mate with diploid females. Fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs develop into males. How do you think the process of sperm production in male bees differs from sperm production in other animals?

Step 1
However, in male bees, the process of sperm production must be different since they are already haploid. In male bees, sperm production likely occurs through a modified process called mitosis, where the haploid cells divide once to produce two identical haploid Show more…

Bees do not have sexual reproduction. In bees, sperm is produced by mitosis. Sperm production is arrested after meiosis. Sperm is produced by division of somatic cells.
