Finally it communicates with the urinogenital duct that comes out of the kidneys and opens into the cloaca. The cloaca is a small, median chamber that is used to pass faecal matter, urine and sperms to the exterior. The female reproductive organs include a pair of ovaries. The eggs are produced in the ovaries and then are passed to the oviducts with kidneys. A pair of oviduct arising from the ovaries opens into the cloaca separately. A mature female can lay 2500 to 3000 ova at a time. The fertilisation and development are external. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, larval stage called tadpole. Tadpole undergoes metamorphosis to form the adult.

Correct answer: A 1–B, 2–E, 3–A, 4–C, 5–D

Cloaca → B: In males, receives faeces, urine, and sperms; in females, oviduct opens separately into cloaca. Cranial nerves → E: Frogs have 10 pairs of cranial nerves. Mesorchium → A: A double fold of peritoneum attaching testes to kidneys. Tadpole → C: Larval stage of frog, which undergoes metamorphosis to adult. Ecological role → D: Frogs eat insects, protect crops, and link food chains/webs, maintaining balance.
