Which of the following is a characteristic feature of cockroach regarding sexual dimorphism?
Dark brown body colour and anal cerci
Presence of anal styles
Presence of sclerites
Presence of anal cerci
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of sexual dimorphism in cockroaches.Sexual dimorphism refers to the differences in appearance between males and females of the same species.In cockroaches, one of the key features of sexual dimorphism is the presence of anal styles.• Anal styles are present only in male cockroaches.• These are small, finger-like projections located near the anal cerci.• Female cockroaches do not have anal styles.Let's analyze the options:• Option 1: Dark brown body colour and anal cerci are not specific to one gender.• Option 2: Presence of anal styles is a characteristic feature of male cockroaches.• Option 3: Presence of sclerites is common to both genders as they form the exoskeleton.• Option 4: Presence of anal cerci is found in both males and females.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2, as anal styles are specific to male cockroaches.
