Question

The female genital aperture, in earthworm is present ventrally on the segment

• A. 10th
• B. 12th
• C. 14th
• D. 18th

Answer 1

The correct option is C 14th

Four pairs of spermathecae are located in 6th-9th segments. They receive and store spermatozoa during copulation. One pair of ovaries is attached at the inter-segmental septum of the 12th and 13th segments. Ovarian funnels are present beneath the ovaries which continue into the oviduct, join together and open on the ventral side as a single median female genital pore on the 14th segment.

So the correct answer is '14th'.
