Question

Where can the female genital pore in Ascaris be found?

• A. In the middle part of body
• B. About $1/3^{rd}$ from anterior end
• C. About $1/3^{rd}$ from posterior end
• D. At the posterior terminal end

Answer 1

The correct option is B About $1/3^{rd}$ from anterior end

In female Ascaris, there is the genital pore or vulva. Males do not have a separate genital pore. It is mid-ventral in position at about $1/3^{rd}$ of body length behind anterior end. Hence, option B is correct.
