Tracheae of cockroach and mammal are similar in having
paired nature.
non-collapsible walls.
ciliated inner lining.
origin from head.
Correct Answer :
B. non-collapsible walls.
Trachae act as passage of air during respiration in both cockroach and mammals. In cockroach, the cuticular lining is spirally thickened forming taenidia which prevents the trachael tubes from collapsing. In mammals, cartilaginous ring supporting the walls of the trachae prevent their collapsing.
