Select the correct route for the passage of sperms in male frogs:
| 1. | Testes → Vasa efferentia → Kidney → Seminal Vesicle → Urinogenital duct → Cloaca |
| 2. | Testes → Vasa efferentia → Bidder's canal → Ureter → Cloaca |
| 3. | Testes → Vasa efferentia → Kidney → Bidder's canal → Urinogenital duct → Cloaca |
| 4. | Testes → Bidder's canal→ Kidney→ Vasa efferentia → Urinogenital duct→ Cloaca |

The function of the gap junction is to?
| 1. | Perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together |
| 2. | Facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules |
| 3. | Separate two cells from each other |
| 4. | Stop substances from leaking across a tissue |
