  1. 1 queen; workers; guards; nurses; grubs; eggs


  2. Ants do not produce parthenogeneticly. The female workers and reproductives are diploid and the product of fertilized eggs. The males are products of unfertilized eggs and haploid. So, that makes the species, haplodiploidy. This means that the worker females are 3/4 related to their sisters, but only 1/2 related to their offspring. This has much to do with their social system, which is called eusociality. The workers " altruistically " give most of the reproductive rights over to the queen and help her raise the brood. For the genetic reasons given above.

  3. it consists mainly of parthenogenicly  produced female    workers.    they are sterile.there are also fertile males,which have only one purpose,and that is to mate with the queen.it is a very complicated social order.
