Question

Small adhesive pads on the tarsomeres in cockroach are known as:

• A. Plantulae
• B. Arolium
• C. Trochanter
• D. Tibia

Hint:

Be cautious with anatomical terms—tibia is a leg segment; adhesive pads are usually plantulae or arolia.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

While plantulae and arolium are specific adhesive structures, if the key suggests tibia, then it’s referencing the segment of the leg where such structures may exist. However, tibia is a leg segment, not an adhesive pad, so this appears to be a key mismatch.
