How do neonicotinoids affect queens?
The nicotine lowers the rate of fertilization, therefore the queen produces fewer worker bees.
100
What flower parts are the arrows pointing to?
Stamens

The Punnett Square shows the eye-color genotypes of 2 parents. What is the probability (percent) the offspring have blue eyes?
50%

What is the name of the 3 parts of a bee?
Head, thorax, and abdomen
100
If an organism reproduces itself (makes a clone), this is an example of what kind of reproduction?
Asexual
200
Farmers pay for bees to be brought to pollinate their crops. Why is this bad for bees?
Bees have poor nutrition - they need a variety of pollen to stay healthy.
200
What part of the flower is circled in red?
Pistil

List the possible phenotypes for this Punnett Square.
Bb, Bb, bb, & bb
200
Bees have 5 eyes; 2 compound eyes and 3 simple eyes. What are the simple eyes called?
Ocelli
200
An advantage of asexual reproduction is that you don't have to find a mate. What is the main disadvantage?
Offspring are clones of the parent. Any weaknesses in the parent will be passed to the offspring.
300
Climate change is causing flowers to bloom sooner. Why is this bad for bees?
Bees come out from hibernation and many flowers have already bloomed.
300
What allows the bee to collect pollen on its body?
Hair
300
If a parent is heterozygous, and carries the allele for curly hair (H), what would their genotype be?
Hh
300
What part of the body store pollen to bring it to the hive? Hint: it is on the back legs.
Pollen sack or pollen basket
300
Sexual reproduction needs two parents; male and female. What is the biggest advantage of this type of reproduction?
Genetic diversity. Offspring will get traits from both parents.
400
How do varroa mites affect bee hives?
Varroa mites come to the hive on bees, crawl into the cells and eat the larvae.
400
What type of pollination is this?
Insect pollination or cross pollination
400
If a parent is homozygous dominant and carries the allele for being tall (T), what would their genotype be?
TT
400
Which body part is the legs and wings connected to?
Thorax

Think back to the egg helmet in bundle one. We used eggs and students were concerned that we were killing baby chickens. This is not true - the eggs we used would NEVER have grown into chickens. Why?
They were never fertilized by a male.

This picture shows a new housing development. How is this contributing to the declining honeybee population?
Bee habitats are being destroyed. The wild flowers that gave bees a balanced diet of nectar and pollen no longer grow there.

Create a Punnett Square to show the possible phenotypes for:
Parent 1: Gg
Parent 2: gg
GG, Gg, Gg, and gg

The queen does not have a stinger. What does she have instead?
She has a ovipositor instead. She lays her eggs through this tube.
500
What are the pairing rules for the nucleotides in DNA?
A+T or T+A
C+G or G+C
