A system of sex determination known as haplodiploidy is found in honeybees. Females are diploid, andmales (drones) are haploid. Male offspring resultfrom the development of unfertilized eggs. Sperm areproduced by mitosis in males and fertilize eggs in thefemales. Ivory eye is a recessive characteristic inhoneybees; wild-type eyes are brown.a. What progeny would result from an ivory-eyedqueen and a brown-eyed drone? Give both genotype and phenotype for progeny produced fromfertilized and nonfertilized eggs.b. What would result from crossing a daughter fromthe mating in part (a) with a brown-eyed drone?
