Hii aspirants

let me clear your doubt.

Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics beyond the differences in their sexual organs. The condition occurs in many animals and some plants. It is the presence of two different forms of an organism in a population. Many species exhibit sexual dimorphism whereby males and females have a different appearance.

Madagascan hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) exhibit sexual dimorphism.

I hope my answer will help you out

Good luck
