Question

18. It is a curious biological fact that a male bee (M) has only one parent (the mother) while a female bee (F) has two parents (both mother and father). The figure shows part of the bee ancestry model for a male bee up to his 4" generation ancestors. (i) Complete the model and show all generation ancestors. How generation ancestors does a male best generation ancestors (ii) The number of nth a sequence with an interesting pattern. Hon you obtain the next term in the sequenos M (iii) Predict the number of 5th generation ances that a male bee has. Verify your answer F) 1" Generation Ancestor drawing the 5" generation ancestors in s above model. M F 2nd Generation Ancestors (iv) Predict the number of 10" generation ancien that a male bee has. M 3rd Generation Ancestors F 4' Generation Ancestors.​

Answer 1

It seems like your message is a bit unclear and may have some typos. However, I'll do my best to help. If you're asking about the number of ancestors in each generation for male (M) and female (F) bees, I can explain.

(i) The pattern you're describing suggests that a male bee (M) has one parent, the mother, and no father. So, in the 1st generation, there's one ancestor (the mother). In the 2nd generation, there are two ancestors (the mother and her mother), and so on.

(ii) If we represent the sequence for male bees as 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., the pattern is that each term is one more than the previous term.

(iii) For the 5th generation, applying the pattern, a male bee would have 5 ancestors.

(iv) Similarly, for the 10th generation, a male bee would have 10 ancestors.

If you provide more specific details or correct any errors, I can offer more accurate assistance.
