Question

In general, coefficients of relatedness are the same in both directions: A mother is as related to her daughter as the daughter is to her mother, for example. In the haplodiploids, this is not always the case. Provide an example to illustrate this.

Answer 1

Answer:

In bees, The males (drones)  genes are 100% the queen's genes (develops from the unfertilized egg), this is haplodiploid, but the females (workers and queens) have 100% of the father's gene but 50% of the mothers (queen)

Explanation:

In relatedness or diploid, both parents share and pass on a complete set of genes to the offsprings, but for haplodiploidy, all the genes of one parent are passed to the offspring excluding the other parent as in the case of drones to queen bees.
