Question

In male cockroaches, sperms are stored in which part of the reproductive system ?

• A. Seminal vesicles
• B. Mushroom glands
• C. Tester
• D. Vas deferens

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer is:

Option 1: Seminal vesicles

Explanation:

In male cockroaches, the seminal vesicles are the part of the reproductive system where sperms are stored after being produced in the testes. The seminal vesicles serve as a storage area for sperm before they are transferred to the female during copulation.

Here’s a brief overview of the other options:

Mushroom glands: These glands are responsible for producing a secretion that is mixed with the sperm to form the spermatophore, which is then transferred to the female.

Testes: The testes are the organs where sperm are produced, not stored.

Vas deferens: This is the tube that transports the sperm from the testes to the seminal vesicles and then to the male's reproductive organ during mating.

Thus, the correct part for sperm storage in male cockroaches is seminal vesicles.
