This is wrong. They get the same DNA father side because male ants are haploid (meaning they have one chromosome of each instead of a pair like diploids) but they get different genes from their mother so they are more closely related than human siblings but no where near your made up number. They are still 25% different

  This is not how anything works. I’m giving you free information by repeating stuff I learned at school and university. If you want to be sure, look it up. This is far from hidden knowledge. I couldn’t care less if I convince a stranger on the internet.

    This is not a test and citations aren’t needed in most tests?

The males are born of the same queen they’ll made with, Doolittle. FFS.

  Fertilized eggs are female, unfertilized eggs male. That’s why they are haploid. They are not going to mate their mother. Go read a book.
