The correct Answer is:
To determine how male and female cockroaches differ, we need to analyze the given options regarding their anatomical features. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The question provides several options that may indicate differences between male and female cockroaches. We need to evaluate each option. 2. **Evaluate Option 1: Anal Saccae and Anal Styles**: - **Anal Saccae**: These are sensory organs that help detect vibrations. They are present in both male and female cockroaches, so they cannot be used to differentiate between the sexes. - **Anal Styles**: These are structures found only in male cockroaches. They play a role in reproduction (copulation). Thus, this option indicates a key difference. 3. **Evaluate Option 2: Anal Saccae**: - As previously mentioned, anal saccae are present in both sexes. Therefore, this option does not represent a difference between male and female cockroaches. 4. **Evaluate Option 3: Anal Styles**: - This option is correct because anal styles are present only in male cockroaches and are absent in females. This is a definitive characteristic that distinguishes male cockroaches from female ones. 5. **Evaluate Option 4: Anal Setae**: - Anal setae are bristle-like structures surrounding the anal opening. They are also present in both male and female cockroaches, so this option does not indicate a difference. 6. **Conclusion**: The primary distinguishing feature between male and female cockroaches is the presence of anal styles in males, which are absent in females. ### Final Answer: Male and female cockroaches differ due to the presence or absence of **anal styles**. ---
