If you establish salat and pay zakat, and believe in My

Messengers and respect and support them, and make a

generous loan to Allah, I will erase your wrong actions from

you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them. Any of you who are unbelievers

disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way."

you your odious deeds, and indeed I will definitely cause you to enter Gardens from beneath which Rivers run. So whoever of you disbelieves after that, then he

Drone genetics32 16:16 Drones are male honey bees. They develop from

eggs that have not been fertilized, and they cannot sting, since the worker bee's stinger is a modified ovipositor (an egg laying organ)

Drones carry only one type of allele because they are haploid (containing only one set of chromosomes from the mother).

During the queen's egg developing process, a diploid cell with 32 chromosomes divides to generate haploid cells calledgametes with 16 chromosomes.

The result is a haploid egg, with chromosomes having a new combination of alleles at the various loci.
