In which animal do haploid cells divide mitotically to produce gametes ?
- Male honeybees
- Male grasshoppers
- Male earthworms
- Male frogs
Answer
(1) Male honeybees
Solution
Male honeybees (drones) develop from unfertilised eggs and are haploid.
Their gametes are therefore formed by mitosis of haploid cells; the other animals are diploid and form gametes by meiosis.
