Question

The oviduct of elasmobranchs is called as

• A. Mullerian duct
• B. Wolffian duct
• C. Lateral oviducts

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mullerian duct

During early embryonic development as the mesonephros atrophies, mesonephric duct splits into the Mullerianduct and a Wolffianduct. In the case of male, Mullerian duct disappears and Wolffian duct produces a functional vasdeferens, while in females Wolffian duct disappears and Mullerian duct produces functional oviduct and uterus.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
