During his observation of spermatogenesis in a few insects, Henking found that a nuclear structure was received by 50 % of the sperms. He called this structure as:
| 1. | X – body | 2. | Y–body |
| 3. | X – chromosome | 4. | Y – chromosome |

It is unfortunate that in our society women are blamed for producing female children and have been ostracised and ill-treated because:
| 1. | The sex is determined by the type of sperm fertilizing the egg |
| 2. | The sex is determined by the type of egg fertilizing the sperm |
| 3. | The sex is determined by the hormones produced by the fetus |
| 4. | The sex is determined by God’s Will |

The figure shows the mechanism of sex determination in a honey bee. How many of the given statements will be true for the mechanism of sex determination in honey bees?
| I. | The sex determination in honey bee is based on the number of sets of chromosomes an individual receives. |
| II. | An offspring formed from the union of a sperm and an egg develops as a female (queen or worker), and an unfertilised egg develops as a male (drone) by means of parthenogenesis. |
| III. | The males have double the number of chromosomes than that of a female, therefore, the females are haploid having 16 chromosomes and the males are diploid, i.e., having 32 chromosomes. |
| IV. | This is called a haplodiploid sex-determination system. |
| V. | The males produce sperms by mitosis, they do not have a father and thus cannot have sons, but have a grandfather and can have grandsons. |
| 1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
| 3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
