  • A. Fall in level of progesterone
  • B. Increase in estrogen level
  • C. Increase in FSH level
  • D. Decrease in oxytocin level

Explanation: When progesterone secretion is reduced its supporting effect on the endometrium decreases so, it breakdown causing menstruation.

Explanation: Secondary spermatocytes are haploid cells, smaller than primary spermatocytes, and show coarse chromatin granules and abundant rough…

Correct answer: Haploid spermatid
  • A. Mitotic division of secondary oocyte
  • B. Meiotic division of primary ooeyte
  • C. Mitotic division of primary oocyte
  • D. Meiotic division of secondary oocyte

Explanation: When a sperm enters the cytoplasm of an ovum, it triggers the completion of the second meiotic division in the ovum, which was previously…

  • A. Myometrium
  • B. Perimetrium
  • C. Endometrium
  • D. Epimetrium
