Question

The phenomena of spawning and amplexus occur in ______________.

• A. Rana hexadactyla
• B. Pavo cristatus
• C. Felis domestica
• D. Naja naja

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rana hexadactyla

• Amplexus: It is a type of mating behaviour in which a male grasps a female with his front legs as part of the mating process, and at the same time or with some time delay, he fertilizes the eggs as they are released from the female's body.
  
• Spawning: To spawn refers to the process of releasing the eggs and sperm, and the act of both sexes is called spawning. Most aquatic animals, except for aquatic mammals and reptiles, reproduce through the process of spawning.

These two processes are mostly exhibited by amphibians. In this case, the only amphibian present is Rana hexadactyla.

So, the correct answer is 'Rana hexadactyla'.
