Question: 107. Which of the following statement is correct about location of the male frog copulatory pad?
(1) First and Second digit of fore limb
(2) First digit of hind limb
(3) Second digit of fore limb
(4) First digit of the fore limb
Answer: Option (4)
Explanation:
In male frogs, copulatory pads are specialized structures that develop during the breeding season.
These pads help the male frog to grip the female firmly during amplexus.
The copulatory pads are dark, rough pads located on the first digit of the fore limb.
This adaptation ensures successful mating by maintaining proper contact between the male and female.
Hence, the correct statement is that the copulatory pad is present on the first digit of the fore limb.
