Life cycle
As in all
Hymenoptera,
sex-determination in species of the genus ''Andricus'' is governed by
haplodiploidy
Haplodiploidy is a sex-determination system in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid. Haplodiploidy is sometimes called arrhenotoky.
Haplodiploidy determines the sex ...
: males develop from unfertilized eggs and are
haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are
diploid.
