Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the reproductive system of frogs: Frogs have distinct male and female reproductive organs, as they are sexually dimorphic. This means males and females have different structures suited to their reproductive roles.
Identify the reproductive organs listed in the question: Ovaries, Vasa deferentia, Testes, and Seminal vesicles. Each of these plays a role in reproduction, but their presence depends on the sex of the frog.
Recall the function of each organ: Ovaries are female reproductive organs that produce eggs. Vasa deferentia are male structures that transport sperm. Testes are male organs that produce sperm. Seminal vesicles are male structures that store and transport sperm.
Determine which organ is exclusive to female frogs: Since ovaries are responsible for producing eggs, they are present only in female frogs. The other listed organs (Vasa deferentia, Testes, and Seminal vesicles) are part of the male reproductive system.
Conclude that the organ present in female frogs but absent in male frogs is the ovaries, as they are essential for egg production and are not found in males.
