In cockroach

A

Ejaculatory duct opens in phallic gland

B

Phallic gland stores sperms

C

Vas deferens opens in phallic gland

D

Phallic gland opens in left phallomere

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

In cockroaches, the ejaculatory duct does not open into the phallic gland; instead, it opens into the male reproductive system's external genitalia. The phallic gland primarily functions in the production of seminal fluid rather than sperm storage, which occurs in the testes. Thus, both options (A) and (B) contain inaccuracies regarding the reproductive anatomy of cockroaches. Understanding the roles of these structures is crucial for comprehending insect reproductive biology.
