Answer 1

A The reproductive structure of this organism is Ovary with uterus.

B.  Organism that contains this structure is Ascaris lumbricoides or the commom round worm.

C This structure is involved with sexual reproduction .

Ascaris lumbricoides comes in Phylum Nematoda. Female worms are longer than males. The males are identified by slightly curved hind end. These worms are found in the intestine of human and absorb digested food in the human and develop causing disease ascariasis. The females lay thousands of egg per day through sexual reproduction. These eggs pass out through human feaces and get scattered in soil. Children playing in the soil usually get contaminated with this egg and it pass into their body when eating with unwashed hands. The eggs then develop inside the human and produce male and female worms.
