Male bees hatch from unfertilized eggs and females from fertilized ones. Therefore, femalebees have two biological parents but males have only one. Conjecture and prove a formulafor the number Fn+1 and Mp+1 of female and male ancestors, respectively, in the (n + 1)stprevious generation of a male bee as a function of the numbers F, and M, in the nth previousgeneration, n > 1. (Notice that F1 = 1 and M1 = 0.) Your formulas are examples of functions%3Dcalled recurrence relations.Remark: You have 2 biological parents, 22 biological grandparents, 23 biological great-grandparents, etc.you. This pattern cannot continue indefinitely, however. If it did, then your 40th previousgeneration would contain 240 ancestors, which far exceeds the total number of people whohave ever lived. The pigeonhole principle implies that everyone’s ancestral tree must stopbranching eventually. A similar analysis applies to bees, of course. The requested formulaassumes that the branching continues indefinitely, but the result should be approximatelyIn principle, there are 2" ancestors in the nth generation precedingvalid for an actual bee for modest values of n.

For a male drone there is only one female parent while for a female worker there are two parents(one…
