Question

Male cockroach is identified by the presence of

• A. Green gland
• B. Anal style
• C. Anal cercus
• D. Broad abdomen
• E. Colleterial gland

Answer 1

The correct option is B Anal style

The abdomen is made up of 10 segments. The 7th, 8th and 9th sterna form a genital pouch in females. In males, the genital pouch is present at the hind end of the abdomen. The male cockroach has thread-like anal styles, which are missing in the female cockroach. Hence, Male Cockroach is identified by the presence of anal style.

So the correct answer is 'Anal style'.
