In the life history of cockroach (periplaneta), there is

  1. No Metamorphosis

  2. Incomplete metamorphosis

  3. Complete metamorphosis

  4. Anamorphosis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Metamorphosis is the process of development of organisms after hatching or birth. Insects that go through three stages of change in their life cycle have an incomplete metamorphosis. The first stage is the egg. During this time, the insect will hatch into a form, called a nymph. The nymph is basically a small version of the adult insect. Once a nymph outgrows its exoskeleton it will go through a process called moulting which is to leave the old skin or exoskeleton behind. The new skin will harden and become the new exoskeleton. This will happen many times until the insect finally becomes an adult. So, the correct answer is option B.

Mushroom gland is part of

  1. Male reproductive system of Cockroach

  2. Female reproductive system of Cockroach

  3. Male reproductive system of Rabbit

  4. Female reproductive system of Rabbit
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The mushroom gland is a large accessory male reproductive gland in the cockroach, which is whitish in colour and situated at the junction of vasa deferentia with the ejaculatory duct. It has a mass of glandular tubules of three kinds, the peripheral long tubules or utriculi majors, the central tubules are small short tubules or utriculi breviores and behind the short central tubules are some short but more bulbous tubules forming the seminal vesicles filled with sperms. 

So, the correct answer is 'Male reproductive system of Cockroach'.

In the female cockroach, the anterior wall, roof and floor of genital pouch are formed respectively by the following abdominal sterna of

  1. 7th, 8th and 9th segments

  2. 8th, 7th and 9th segments

  3. 9th, 8th an 7th segments

  4. 8th, 9th and 7th segments
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Genital or brood pouch is a large boat-shaped structure whose floor is formed by the 7th sternite, roof and sides are formed by the 8th and 9th sternites. The genital pouch can be divided into a genital chamber into which vagina opens and an oothecal chamber where oothecae are formed. The genital chamber also receives the accessory reproductive glands. 

So, the correct answer is '8th, 9th and 7th segments'.

Which of the following structures does not open into the genital chamber of female cockroaches?

  1. A single median oviduct

  2. Spermatheca

  3. A pair of anal cerci

  4. A pair of collateral glands
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The genital pouch of female cockroach can be divided into two parts. The anterior smaller part containing the openings of female gonopore, pores of spermathecae and collateral glands is called genital chamber, while the larger posterior part in which ootheca is formed is called oothecal chamber or vestibulum. Oviduct doesn't open into the genital chamber.

So, the correct option is 'A single median oviduct'.

  1. Collateral glands

  2. Seminal vesicles

  3. Phallic gland

  4. Conglobate glands

In Cockroach an ovary is formed of ovarioles

  1. 4

  2. 6

  3. 8

  4. 10
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Each ovary is formed of a group of eight ovarian tubules or ovarioles containing a chain of developing ova. An ovariole is made up of an epithelial layer resting on a basement membrane and enclosed externally in a connective tissue coat. Hence In cockroach, an ovary is formed of 8 ovarioles.

So the correct answer is "8".
