This document discusses sex determination in honey bees. It notes that honey bees have three castes - queens, workers, and drones. Queens are the largest females and are fertilized, workers are smaller females that are also fertilized, and drones are parthenogenetic males. The sex of honey bees is determined by their number of chromosome sets (haploid or diploid) rather than sex chromosomes. Females are diploid and develop from fertilized eggs, while males are haploid and develop from unfertilized eggs through parthenogenesis. Therefore, the sex determination system in honey bees is called haplodiploid, where sex is determined by ploidy level rather than specific sex chromosomes.
XX-XY sex determination is one of the chromosomal sex determination where sperm determines the sex of the progeny. This type of sex determination is seen in plants also. MELANDRIUM ALBUM is one.
Maternal effects are the influences of a mothers genotype on the phenotype of her offspring. It results from the asymmetric contribution of the female parent to the development of zygotes.
In terms of chromosomal genes, both male and female parents contribute equally to the zygote. The female parent contributes to the zygotes initial cytoplasm and organelles. Sperm rarely contribute anything other than chromosomes. Therefore zygotic development begins within a maternal medium and hence the maternal cytoplasm directly affects zygotic development.

This PPT consists of 15 slides only explaining Pleiotropy. This is a phenomenon when one gene controls more than one trait , the traits may be related .Generally one gene's product acts for many reactions and so can affect more than one trait. Examples can be seen in pea Coloured flower and pigmentation in leaf axil, frizzle trait in chicken, fur colour and deafness in cats,Human pleiotropic traits are PKU,Sickle cell Anaemia. HOsyndrome , p53 gene etc

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION
Birds show well marked
sexual dimorphism. They have
three castes in their hive as :-
Queen – fertilized largest female.
Worker – fertilized smaller
females.
Drone – parthenogenetic males.
3. CHROMOSOMES IN HONEY BEES
They have 16 pairs of homologous
chromosomes.
Females are diploid with 36 or 16
pairs of chromosomes and males are
haploid with only 16 or one set of
chromosomes. So sex determination
in honey bee is called as
HAPLODIPLOID SYSTEM OF SEX
DETERMINATION.
5. CHROMOSOMALTHEORY
Here sex of an individual is determined by
number of sets of chromosomes in it or
occurrence or absence of fertilisation of
gametes.
Here females developed from fertilisation
of sperm and ovum and males develops by
parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is a phenomenon in
which unfertilised ovum develops into
offspring without fertilisation.
So males are haploid and females diploid.
7. CONCLUSION
From above descriptions, we conclude
that, the it is not sex chromosomes but
number of sets of chromosomes and
occurrence or absence of fertilisation,
determine the sex of honey bees.
This system is also seen among ants,
wasps, spiders, mites etc..
8. EXTRAAND INTERESTING
ARRHENOTOKY – It is the development
of unfertilised egg into male by
parthenogenesis.
THELYTOKY - It is the development of
unfertilised eggs into female by
parthenogenesis. It is seen among
Hymenopteran insects such as ants, wasps,
bees, sawflies etc..
Honey bees drones do not have father but
have inheritance from the grandfather.
