The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Ascaris and Cockroach resemble each other in?", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of both organisms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: - Ascaris is a roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda (not Ascalmynthus, which seems to be a typographical error in the transcript). - Cockroach belongs to the phylum Arthropoda. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: Pseudocoelom**: - Ascaris is a pseudocoelomate, while cockroaches are eucoelomate. Therefore, they do not resemble each other in this aspect. - **Option 2: Sexual Dimorphism**: - Sexual dimorphism refers to the differences in size or appearance between males and females of the same species. - In Ascaris, males are smaller and have a coiled tail, while females are larger. - In cockroaches, males have distinct structures (anal cerci) that females lack. Thus, both organisms exhibit sexual dimorphism. - **Option 3: Nephridia**: - Nephridia are excretory structures found in annelids. Ascaris does not have nephridia, nor does the cockroach, making this option incorrect. - **Option 4: Dorsal Tubular Nerve Cord**: - This feature is characteristic of chordates, not of Ascaris or cockroaches. Hence, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only option that correctly identifies a similarity between Ascaris and cockroach is **sexual dimorphism**. ### Final Answer: Ascaris and Cockroach resemble each other in **sexual dimorphism**. ---
