The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct sequence of arrangements of segments in the leg of a cockroach, we need to understand the anatomy of the cockroach leg. The leg consists of five main segments arranged in a specific order. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Segments**: The cockroach leg has five segments: coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, and tarsus. 2. **Understand the Order**: The correct order of these segments is: - **Coxa**: This is the first segment that connects the leg to the body. - **Trochanter**: This is the second segment and acts like a knee joint. - **Femur**: This is the third and the longest segment of the leg. - **Tibia**: This is the fourth segment, which is typically long and slender. - **Tarsus**: This is the fifth segment, which is further divided into smaller parts called tarsomeres. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option (a)**: Trochanter, coxa, femur, tibia, tarsus - Incorrect (starts with trochanter). - **Option (b)**: Coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus - Correct (follows the proper order). - **Option (c)**: Coxa, femur, trochanter, tibia, tarsus - Incorrect (places femur before trochanter). - **Option (d)**: Trochanter, femur, coxa, tibia, tarsus - Incorrect (starts with trochanter and misplaces coxa). 4. **Conclusion**: The correct sequence of arrangements of segments in the leg of a cockroach is given in **Option (b)**: Coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus. ### Final Answer: **(b) Coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus**
