Stephen Jay Gould on Society - Dictionary of Arguments
II 62 Society/biology/Gould: societal systems such as ants and bees could also be of great benefit to many other species, but they do not develop, mainly because it is so difficult to get them rolling in diploid organisms. II 56 Definition diploid: animals with paired chromosomes in both sexes are diploid. Some animals use a different feature for sex determination: the females are diploid, but the males have instead of each female pair only one chromosome and are considered to be Definition haploid: haploid animals only have one chromosome (half of the diploid number). In other words, the males develop ironically from unfertilized eggs and have no father. Fertilized eggs, on the other hand, produce diploid females. Animals using this system are called Definition haplodiploid: the males develop from unfertilized eggs and have no father. Fertilized eggs, on the other hand, produce diploid females. This can be used to control the number of females. >Evolution, >Explanation, >Darwinism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
