This hormone develops the endometrium and makes it receptive for the implantation of zygote:
Correct answer: B. Progesterone
- A. Estrogen
- B. Progesterone
- C. FSH
- D. ICSH
Explanation
The correct answer is Progesterone. Progesterone is essential for preparing the endometrium, making it suitable for the implantation of a fertilized egg (zygote), and maintaining early pregnancy. Estrogen, while important for the initial thickening of the endometrium, does not make it receptive for implantation. FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) plays a role in the development of ovarian follicles and is unrelated to endometrial preparation. ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone related to male reproduction and does not function in the female reproductive system.

About Reproduction
Human reproduction covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, fertilization, implantation and hormonal regulation. The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
