Hormone which induces metamorphosis in Frog is

  1. Ecdysone

  2. Thyroxine

  3. Juvenile hormone

  4. Melatonin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In frog growth and metamorphosis are controlled by hormones synthesized by endocrine glands near the front of the body. Neurosecretory cells in an insect's brain secrete a hormone, the prothoracicotropic hormone that activates prothoracic glands, which secrete a second hormone, usually ecdysone, that induces ecdysis. PTTH also stimulates the corpora allata, a retrocerebral organ, to produce a juvenile hormone, which prevents the development of adult characteristics during ecdysis.

So the correct answer is 'Ecdysone'.

Albuminous layer around the egg of Frog is deposited by

  1. Ovarian follicles

  2. Ovary

  3. Oviduct

  4. Coelom

Explanation:

The frog egg is surrounded by an albuminous layer by an oviduct which later it comes into a uterus. The oviduct is a long coiled duct with the thick wall that is not connected with kidneys.  It consists some glands which secrete albumen that hardens ova. After the ovulation, the cilia of the oviducal funnel draws the coelomic fluid with ova which moves into the middle region with the help of cilia.

So the correct answer is 'Oviduct'.
