In bees, females develop from fertilized eggs while males develop from unfertilized eggs. Which sex is haploid?
Added by Katelyn Z.
Step 1
- Haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes as compared to diploid cells. In humans, for example, haploid cells (sperm and egg cells) contain 23 chromosomes, while diploid cells (body cells) contain 46 chromosomes. Show more…

*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?
