The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Cockroach is unisexual and shows sexual dimorphism." - This means that cockroaches have distinct male and female sexes, and there are observable differences between them. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Cockroaches belong to the phylum Arthropoda and are indeed unisexual, meaning they have separate male and female individuals. - Sexual dimorphism is also present in cockroaches, as male and female cockroaches exhibit different physical characteristics. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that "Male cockroach has only anal cerci while female cockroach has anal styles as well." - This statement is intended to explain the differences between male and female cockroaches. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The statement in the reason is incorrect. Male cockroaches have anal cerci, while female cockroaches have anal styles. - The anal cerci in males are used for copulation, while the anal styles in females serve different functions. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Assertion is true but Reason is false.** ---
