The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the odd homologous pair from the given options, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Homologous Structures Homologous structures are anatomical features in different species that share a common ancestry. In the context of human reproduction, homologous structures refer to male and female reproductive organs that develop from the same embryonic tissue. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option Let's break down each option to identify the homologous pairs: - **Option A: Bartholins glands, Poppers glands** - Bartholins glands (female) correspond to the bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands) in males. This is a homologous pair. - **Option B: Clitoris, Penis** - The clitoris in females is homologous to the penis in males. This is a homologous pair. - **Option C: Mons pubis, Glands penis** - The mons pubis in females does not have a direct homologous structure in males. The glands penis (which includes the glans of the penis) is a male structure. This pair does not share a common embryonic origin. - **Option D: Labia majora, Scrotum** - The labia majora in females correspond to the scrotum in males. This is a homologous pair. ### Step 3: Identify the Odd Pair From the analysis, we can see that: - Options A, B, and D all consist of homologous pairs. - Option C (Mons pubis and glands penis) does not consist of homologous structures. ### Conclusion The odd homologous pair out is **Option C: Mons pubis and glands penis**. ---
