Frog is
-
Reflex ovulator
-
Spontaneous ovulator
-
Non-ovulator
-
None of the above
Frogs reproduce by external fertilisation. The female frog ovulates in the water and releases its gametes. The sperm released from the male frog fertilizes to form zygote which turns into a well-developed egg. So, the correct answer is option B.
The Bidder's canal in frog help to pass out
-
Ova
-
Sperms
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
Bidder's canal is present in male frogs. Vasa-efferentia opens into the Bidder's canal and the Bidder's canal is connected to longitudinal collecting tubules by means of a number of transverse collecting ducts and helps in the passing of the sperms. So, the correct answer is option B.
Vasa efferentia in frog carry sperms to
-
Male cloaca
-
Female cloaca
-
Mullerian duct
-
Bidder's canal
In all terrestrial vertebrates except the placental mammals, the genital ducts and excretory ducts, open into the cloaca. In mammals, however, the cloaca becomes separate into a dorsal part, which conveys the faeces and a ventral part, which receives excretory and genital products. The sperm cells from seminiferous tubules pass into Bidder's canal through vasa efferentia. The Bidder's canal runs along the length of each kidney near its inner side. Thus, vasa efferentia conduct mature sperm from testis to the ureter.
Eggs laid by female frog are protected by :
-
Scrotal sae
-
Hard shell
-
Layer of jelly
-
Exoskeleton
-
None of these
Eggs laid by female frogs are protected by Gelatinous material that prevents desiccation of the developing embryo.
Which of the following features connot be associated with Rana tigrina?
-
Tympanum represents the ear
-
Three chambered heart
-
Body divisible into head and trunk
-
Direct developement
Tympanum is a membrane of the eardrum. It has a three chambered heart made of muscle tissues. The body of the frog is divisible into head and trunk. The head is in a triangular shape. The lungs is present in the trunk of the body.
Tadpole larva of frog feed upon?
-
Yolk sac
-
Zooplanktons
-
Protozoa
-
Aquatic vegetations
Tadpole larva has a rudimentary mouth which is not highly developed. Thus frog tadpole is a herbivore, feeding on relatively simpler food found available in the aquatic systems, such as Zooplanktons. Upon growth, tadpole larva undergoes metamorphosis where the mouth and internal organs will be rearranged to develop an adult carnivorous lifestyle.
Oviduct of frog can be called as
-
Bidder's canal
-
Urinogenital duct
-
Mullerian duct
-
Uterus
The oviducts present in amphibians are simple tubes which are lined with glands that produce mucus and jelly. Oviducts in male frogs are vestigial oviducts as they have no specific function and no role in reproduction. However, in female, oviduct responds to ovarian or female sex hormones by enlarging and acquiring a lumen. Oviducts carries egg to the cloaca. This posterior opening is the common exit for intestinal, urinary and reproductive tracts. The oviduct of the female is known as the rudimentary oviduct or Mullerian duct. This duct has no lumen and is very much reduced in size. Due to small size, it is difficult to locate these ducts.
Recapitulation theory is explained by all statements except
-
Retrogressive evolution in Herdmania
-
Development of frog from a tailed tadpole
-
Presence of flagellated sperms in Ginkgo
-
None of the above
- The larva of Herdmania shows retrogressive metamorphosis in which the larva looses the characters of chordates and attains the form of a invertebrate.
- The tadpole larva of Frog shows fish like characters like gills, gill slits and lateral line organs. This indicates that amphibians evolved from fish like ancestors.
- Gingko is a primitive gymnosperm. Presence of flagellated sperms in Gingko like in Pteridophytes suggest that gymnosperms have evolved from Pteridophytes.
In a male frog, the ureters transfer
-
Urine
-
Sperms
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
In male frogs, each testis is located on the anterio-ventral margin of the kidney. From each testis, ten to twelve vasa efferentia emerge and enter the kidney to open into the Bidder's canal. The Bidder's canal helps in the transfer of sperms via the vasa efferentia. Vasa efferentia open into the Bidder's canal and the Bidder's canal is connected to longitudinal collecting tubules by means of a number of transverse collecting tubes and these longitudinal collecting tubules open into the ureter. Finally, they open into the urinogenital duct that emerges from the kidneys. So, the correct answer is option C.
Frog reproduces
-
In water
-
On trees
-
In sand
-
On lotus flowers in water
Frog reproduces in water. They are oviparous and they lay eggs in water which is fertilised outside the body of the frog. In order to make sure that the sperm reaches the eggs, the male and female get into a mating posture called amplexus. so, the correct answer is option A.
Vocal sacs are found in
-
Male frog
-
Female frog
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
Vocal sacs are prominent in a male frog. It is composed of flexible skin which easily expands or contracts to change the frequency of sound waves and helps in amplification. The sound produced is a call for mating. The presence or development of the vocal sac is one way of externally determining the sex of a frog in many species. The vocal sac is open to the mouth cavity of the frog, with two slits on either side of the tongue. To call, the frog inflates its lungs and shuts its nose and mouth. So, the correct answer is option A.
The development of frog is
-
Direct
-
Indirect
-
Parthenogenetic
-
None of the above
In indirect development, an animal's birth form is different from the adult form. The embryo hatches from the egg in the larval form. The larva undergoes a drastic metamorphosis in order to achieve its adult stage. Frog, the adult form is completely different from the tadpole, its birth form. Hence, frog undergoes indirect development.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Croaking of frog is
-
Hunger call
-
Danger call
-
Musical tone
-
Sex call for female
Males croak louder especially during the night in the breeding season. Males croak to the sound of vacuums, running water, loud noises, to attract females for mating and protect their territory from other male frogs. So, the correct answer is option D.
How many eggs are laid by a female frog at a time?
-
100 - 200
-
500 - 1000
-
2500 - 3000
-
5000 - 6000
- Frogs are the amphibians and they are indulged in external fertilization. They are oviparous and they lay eggs. A male frog sheds millions of sperm and female sheds 2,000 to 3,000 eggs at a time in the water.
So, the correct answer is option C.
When a sperm enters an egg of frog
-
First polar body is formed
-
First meiotic division occurs
-
Second meiotic division occurs
-
Fertilization process is completed
When a sperm enters the cytoplasm of the oocyte, there is a cortical reaction, which prevents other sperms from fertilising that egg. The oocyte now (after sperm enters the oocyte) undergoes second meiotic division producing haploid ovum and releases a polar body.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Ureter of male Frog has a swelling called vesicular seminalis. It
-
Stores Urine
-
Stores sperms
-
Stores ova
-
Both A and B
In frog, from the outer smooth convex posterior side of each kidney arises a mesonephric or wolffian duct or ureter which passes backwards to open into the dorsal side of cloaca. In the males, the ureter dilates just posterior to the kidney to form a vesicula seminalis. Its function is to store sperms.
Croaking of Frog is
-
Hunger call
-
Sex call for female
-
Danger call
-
Musical note
In frogs, males frogs can be distinguished by the presence of to attract a mate, the male frog croaks from a shallow puddle, sending out ripples that invite not just female frogs, but also hungry bats. Male túngara frogs croak from shallow puddles to attract mates. Male frogs grow pads on their forelegs that help them to grasp the females in an embrace known as amplexus.
Croaking is
-
Call for food
-
Indication of enemy
-
Call for mating
-
Call of hibernation
Female frogs listen to the croaking of male frogs, and this helps them choose the most suitable ones for mating. Another reason for which male frogs croak is to claim territory. By croaking loudly at night, a male frog warns other males that a particular part of a territory is already occupied.
Oviduct of female frog has a swelling or ovisac for storing
-
Sperms
-
Ova
-
Albumen
-
Urine
In female frog, on each side of the ovary there is a long much coiled whitish glandular tube called oviduct or Mullerian duct. At the anterior end of each oviduct there is an oviducal funnel with a wide aperture called ostium.. The posterior part of the oviduct dilates to form a thin walled ciliated ovisac , where the ova are stored and agglutinated. So, the correct answer is 'Ova'.
In humans, oviduct is formed by
-
Wolffian duct
-
Bidders canal
-
Metanephric duct
-
Mullerian duct
A nephron is devoid of loop of Henle in
-
Man
-
Rabbit
-
Frog
-
Dog
Nephron of frog is short, it lacks Henle's loop because water conservation is not important in amphibians who reside near water. Whereas for other animals the loop of henle present in the nephron helps in water conservation. So, the correct answer is 'Frog'.
Which is useful in metamorphosis of tadpole into frog?
-
Aldosterone
-
Thyroxine
-
Pituitary
-
Oxytocin
Metamorphism is a hormonal effect influenced by hormones. The metamorphism in frogs is under the control of thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. Frogs live in water bodies with rich iodine content to produce thyroxine.The deficiency in iodine would result in a retarded growth.
How many ova are laid by a mature female frog at a time _____________.
-
3500 - 4500
-
2500 - 3000
-
1450 - 1500
-
500 1000
Female frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at a time, which are immediately fertilized by the male. Frogs become sexually mature around four years of age. They emerge from hibernation from February to March to seek out breeding grounds. Females lay their eggs in shallow water. It takes about 40 days for tadpoles to emerge from the eggs.
Pylangium in frog occurs in
-
Conus arteriosus
-
Sinus venosus
-
Atrium
-
Ventricle
The truncus arteriosus is formed of a basal thick-walled conus arteriosus and a distal thin-walled ventral aorta. Its conus arteriosus part which is next to the ventricle is known as pylangium and the distal ventral part as synangium. Pylangium is a short tubular structure, while synangium is simply formed by the union of the basal parts of the arteries.

5. Frog has bilobed tongue
-
2 and 5 alone are correct
-
5 alone is correct
-
1, 3 and 5 alone are correct
-
1 and 4 alone are correct
-
1 and 2 alone are correct
Egg of frog is
-
Microlecithal and homolecithal
-
Polylecithal and centrolecithal
-
Moderately telolecithal and mesolecithal
-
Heavily telolecithal and polylecithal
The egg of the frog is mesolecithal as moderate amount of yolk is present. As the yolk is concentrated in the lower part of the egg and the cytoplasm in the upper part, these eggs are moderately telolecithal.
Ureters act as urinogenital ducts in
-
Human females
-
Human males
-
Male frogs
-
Both male and female frogs
In the frog, each kidney is composed of several structural and functional units called uriniferous tubule or nephrons. Two ureters emerge from the kidneys in the male frogs. The ureters act as a urinogenital duct which opens into the cloaca. The thin-walled urinary bladder is present ventral to the rectum which opens in the cloaca.
Urinogenital duct of male frog opens into
-
Rectum
-
Cloaca
-
Urinary bladder
-
Intestine
In the male frog, the final digestion takes place in the intestine. Digested food is absorbed by the numerous finger-like folds in the inner wall of the intestine called villi and microvilli. The undigested solid waste moves into the rectum and passes out through cloaca. Hence the urinogenital duct of the male frog opens into the cloaca.
Fertilization in frog is
-
External
-
Internal
-
Both
-
None of these
Fertilization in frog is external. The female releases her eggs from her body into water. Then, the male releases his sperm to fertilize them.
Which of the following is correct regarding the path followed by sperms of male frog?
-
Seminiferous tubules- Bidder's canal-Urinogenital duct-Vasa efferentia-Cloaca
-
Seminiferous tubules-Urinogenital duct-Vasa efferentia-Bidder's canal-cloaca
-
Seminiferous ubules-Vasa efferentia-Bidder's canal-Urinogenital duct-Cloaca
-
Seminiferous tubules-Vasa efferentia-Urinogenital duct-Bidder's canal-Cloaca
Where is jelly deposited as a covering on the egg of frog?
-
In the oviduct
-
In the water during fertilisation
-
In the water after fertilisation
-
In the ovary
In frogs, the vitellin membrane and an adhesive jelly coating, also known as tertiary egg membrane, surround the eggs. When passing from the oviduct, it is added to the egg. This jelly enables the egg to be easily trained. The capable sperm readily fertilizes the egg as it has the location of the jelly receptor. The frog egg on the animal pole has yolk on the vegetable pole and nucleus.
-
In the oviduct
-
In the water during fertilization
-
In water after fertilization
-
In the ovary
The female frog secretes jelly like substance that covers the egg. This coating is an oviducal secretion, that is secretion of the oviduct, that helps the eggs clump together, stay afloat and prevent being eaten away by predators.
Pairing of male and female frogs during breeding season is called
-
Coitus
-
Mating
-
Copulation
-
Amplexus
In almost all frogs, egg fertilization happens outside the female's body instead of inside. The female releases her eggs and the male releases his sperm at the same time. In order to make sure that the sperm reach the eggs, the male and female get into a mating posture called amplexus. The male climbs onto the female's back and clasps his forelegs around her middle.
In Alytes obstetricans,
-
The female collects the fertilised eggs and hides the same in safe place
-
The female after collecting the eggs, hides itself in a safe place
-
The male collects eggs around its neck and hides itself
-
The male collects eggs around its legs and hides itself
Hormone which induces metamorphosis in Frog is
-
Ecdysone
-
Thyroxine
-
Juvenile hormone
-
Melatonin
In frog growth and metamorphosis are controlled by hormones synthesized by endocrine glands near the front of the body. Neurosecretory cells in an insect's brain secrete a hormone, the prothoracicotropic hormone that activates prothoracic glands, which secrete a second hormone, usually ecdysone, that induces ecdysis. PTTH also stimulates the corpora allata, a retrocerebral organ, to produce a juvenile hormone, which prevents the development of adult characteristics during ecdysis.
Albuminous layer around the egg of Frog is deposited by
-
Ovarian follicles
-
Ovary
-
Oviduct
-
Coelom
The frog egg is surrounded by an albuminous layer by an oviduct which later it comes into a uterus. The oviduct is a long coiled duct with the thick wall that is not connected with kidneys. It consists some glands which secrete albumen that hardens ova. After the ovulation, the cilia of the oviducal funnel draws the coelomic fluid with ova which moves into the middle region with the help of cilia.
In Suriname toad, eggs are taken care by
-
Male
-
Female
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
