This honey bee genetic system, therefore is named as a combination of both conditions, haplodiploid . It results in interesting things such as half sisters, super sisters and on rare occasions, diploid drones. It also results in a supremely female society, a matriarchy of the first order where males a relegated to a relatively minor role. They not only become expendable during the mating act, but are the first members of the colony to be eliminated in the face of stressful environmental conditions. The genetic system in humans is quite different.
All eggs are fertilized, so all individuals are diploid.
In addition, the male surname is also the default bestowed on any female becoming married in most western human societies. Male gender was a defining force in school, Mr. Miller says, where he learned that boys did indeed have something that girls lack, even in their genes. If a Y chromosome exists, for example, no matter how many X's there might be in humans, the male sex prevails, Mr. Miller says, ensuring human male supremacy. In either case, the X had to wait for the male to show up and make the decision. The Y really is the boss.
