$$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text { Year } & {\text { U.S. Female Physicians }} \\ \hline 1980 & {48,700} \\ \hline 1990 & {96,100} \\ \hline 1996 & {148,300} \\ \hline\end{array}$$

Solve the problem involving sequences and series.

As mentioned in the chapter introduction and in the Connections box in this section, one of the most famous sequences in mathematics is the Fibonacci sequence,

$$1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55, \ldots$$

Recall that male honeybees hatch from eggs that have not been fertilized, so a male bee has only one parent, a female. On the other hand, female honeybees hatch from fertilized eggs, so a female has two parents, one male and one female. The number of ancestors in consecutive generations of bees follows the Fibonacci sequence. Draw a tree showing the number of ancestors of a male bee in each generation.

When a yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male, half of the puppies were brown and half were yellow. The same female, when mated with a different brown male, produced only brown offspring. Explain these results.
