AIIMS 2019 Zoology Insect Anatomy Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: Cockroach shows sexual dimorphisms. Reason: The female cockroach bears a pair of short thread like anal styles.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The assertion that cockroaches exhibit sexual dimorphisms is true, as males and females display distinct physical characteristics, such as size and reproductive structures. However, the reason provided is false; while female cockroaches do have anal styles, these structures are not the primary feature that defines sexual dimorphism in the species. Option A is incorrect because the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, while option B is incorrect as it implies the reason is a valid explanation. Option D is incorrect since the assertion is indeed true.
