Statement 1: Bidder's canal is present in the kidney of frogs to facilitate the passage of sperm.
Statement 2: The vasa efferentia from the testes connect to the anterior part of Bidder's canal.
Choose the correct option based on the relationship between the two statements:
Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
Statement 1 is true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
Statement 1 is false, but Statement 2 is true.
Both Statements are false.
Statement 1 states that Bidder's canal is present in the kidney of frogs to facilitate the passage of sperm. Bidder's canal is a specialized tubular structure found in the kidney of certain species of frogs. It serves as a duct for transporting sperm from the testes to the cloaca for eventual fertilization.
Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1 by stating that the vasa efferentia from the testes connect to the anterior part of Bidder's canal. Vasa efferentia are thin tubules that carry sperm away from the testes. In frogs, they are connected to the anterior portion of Bidder's canal, allowing the sperm to pass through the canal and reach the cloaca.
Therefore, Option 1 is the correct answer as it states that Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1.
