It is unfortunate that in our society women are blamed for producing female children and have been ostracised and ill-treated because:

1. The sex is determined by the type of sperm fertilizing the egg
2. The sex is determined by the type of egg fertilizing the sperm
3. The sex is determined by the hormones produced by the fetus
4. The sex is determined by God’s Will

The figure shows the mechanism of sex determination in a honey bee. How many of the given statements will be true for the mechanism of sex determination in honey bees?
  
 
I. The sex determination in honey bee is based on the number of sets of chromosomes an individual receives.
II. An offspring formed from the union of a sperm and an egg develops as a female (queen or worker), and an unfertilised egg develops as a male (drone) by means of parthenogenesis.
III. The males have double the number of chromosomes than that of a female, therefore, the females are haploid having 16 chromosomes and the males are diploid, i.e., having 32 chromosomes. 
IV.   This is called a haplodiploid sex-determination system.
V. The males produce sperms by mitosis, they do not have a father and thus cannot have sons, but have a grandfather and can have grandsons.
