Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Queen is the only fertile female in the beehive, having immensely developed ovaries. She lives for several successive years hying about 2000 or more eggs a day. The queen has a remarkable capacity of controlling the fertilization of its eggs. A fertilized egg is laid in a worker or queen cell, while an unfertilized egg in a drone cell, the latter develops parthenogenetically. The queen mates only once in her lifetime. The sperms stored in her spermatheca fertilize her eggs as long as she lives.
