Spermathecae

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In earthworms,the spermathecae are the organs responsible for storing the sperms received from another earthworm during the process of copulation. There are four pairs of spermathecae located in the $6^{th}$ to $9^{th}$ segments. Seminal vesicles are involved in the maturation and storage of the earthworm's own sperms,not the partner's sperms. Therefore,the correct answer is Spermathecae.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$P$. Testes	$I$. $18^{th}$ segment
$Q$. Accessory glands	$II$. $17^{th}$ and $19^{th}$ segments
$R$. Male genital pore	$III$. $6^{th}$ to $9^{th}$ segments
$S$. Spermathecae	$IV$. $13^{th}$ segment
$T$. Ovaries	$V$. $10^{th}$ and $11^{th}$ segments
