This is wrong. They get the same DNA father side because male ants are haploid (meaning they have one chromosome of each instead of a pair like diploids) but they get different genes from their mother so they are more closely related than human siblings but no where near your made up number. They are still 25% different
None of y'all used citations so everyone is wrong!
This is not how anything works. I'm giving you free information by repeating stuff I learned at school and university. If you want to be sure, look it up. This is far from hidden knowledge. I couldn't care less if I convince a stranger on the internet.
No.
You get an F! No passing grade! Citation is needed or you will not pass this class young man!
This is not a test and citations aren't needed in most tests?
But citations are needed in papers or articles when stating facts in an argument.
The males are born from the same queen they're spawned to mate with, Doolittle. FFS.
Fertilized eggs are female, unfertilized eggs male. That's why they are haploid. They are not going to mate their mother. Go read a book.
ALL OF THE GENETIC MATERIAL COMES FROM THE MOTHER, INCLUDING THE MALES THAT FERTILIZE HER EGGS. Fucking child. ๐
