Question
Chapter 36, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why the offsprings of a Komodo dragon kept in isolation are not identical.
Concept introduction:
Parthenogenesis is an asexual way of reproduction in which the unfertilized egg gives rise to an organism. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division which halves the ploidy of a cell to make gametes.

Why is parthenogenesis in bees considered to be a form of asexual reproduction?
Select one:
a. The male drone is made from a haploid egg. Fertilization is not part of the process to make a male drone.
b. The formation of the original haploid cell was achieved using binary fission.
c. Although genetic material is transferred from one cell to another using conjugation, the resulting cells will be identical to each other.
d. The haploid male bees were made through the process of meiosis, so they are identical to the parent egg cell.
If a human gamete with a missing chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Will the zygote be viable? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)
