Where do the female ovaries of frogs situate?

Near the kidneys Attached to the testes Within the cloaca Adhered to the mesorchium |
Near the kidneys |
The correct answer is Option (1) -Near the kidneys The female reproductive organs include a pair of ovaries . The female ovaries in frogs are situated near the kidneys. Unlike the male reproductive organs, there is no functional connection between the female ovaries and the 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. Fertilisation is external and takes place in water. Development involves a larval stage called tadpole. Tadpole undergoes metamorphosis to form the adult. Other options like the ovaries being attached to the testes, within the cloaca, or adhered to the mesorchium are incorrect .
