Question

Honey bees are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 AM in the morning, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Bees at site A are collecting pollen; those at site B are collecting nectar. When bees from site A return to the nest, they must find a cell in the wax combs and store the pollen (Fig. 3). Bees from site B pass their nectar to young Receiver Bees when they return to the nest (Fig. 4).

13. True or False: Compared to the young receiver bee in Fig. 4, the foragers has lower per gene activity, levels of PER protein that are 3 times less, and has greater development of the hypopharengeal glands and mandibular glands.
14. True or False: The bees in Fig. 4 are engaged in an exchange of liquid food through a process called proctodeal feeding.
15. True or False: During the food exchange shown in Fig. 4, the older forager is passing a pheromone to the younger bee called isopentyl acetate, which upregulates genes associated with nursing behavior and downregulates genes associated with foraging.
