Column I
(Animal) Column II
(Number of chromosomes)
(a) Honeybee (i) 46 in male and female
(b) Human (ii) 23 in male and 24 in female
(c) Fruit fly (iii) 8 in male and female
(d) Grasshopper (iv) 16 in male and 32 in female

3. iv i iii ii
4. iii iv ii i

Solution:

Honeybee – 16 chromosomes in male and 32 in female (haplodiploidy)
Human – 46 chromosomes in male and female (XX-XY)
Fruit fly – 8 chromosomes in male and female (XX-XY)
Grasshopper – 23 in male and 24 in female (XX-X0; male has one chromosome less since it has a single allosome)
