Question:

How did Eusociality evolve

Author: Judzea Gatt



Answer:

Single queen colonies where female workers are more related to sisters than daughters. Female workers sex ratio of 3:1 is ideal but Queens 1:1 is ideal. Leading to conflict. Because males are haploid Queen controls primary sex ratio. Because workers raise young, they control secondary sex ratio. Ratio most biased in single queen colonies less in multiple queen colonies.
