The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Astragalus and calcaneum bones are found in the fore limb of frog" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Bones**: The statement mentions two specific bones: astragalus and calcaneum. 2. **Understand Bone Location in Frogs**: - The **forelimb** of a frog refers to the bones that make up its front legs (similar to the arms in humans). - The **hind limb** refers to the bones that make up the frog's back legs (similar to the legs in humans). 3. **Locate the Bones**: - The **astragalus** bone corresponds to the human talus and is part of the ankle joint. - The **calcaneum** bone is known as the heel bone in humans. 4. **Check the Location in Frogs**: - In frogs, both the astragalus and calcaneum are found in the **hind limb**, not the forelimb. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the statement claims that these bones are found in the forelimb, and we have established that they are actually located in the hind limb, the statement is **False**. ### Final Answer: **False** ---
