What maintains the corpus luteum after fertilization?
1. | release of HCG by the trophoblast to maintain the corpus luteum. |
2. | production of LH by the maternal pituitary. |
3. | maintenance of the corpus luteum by prolactin. |
4. | production of estrogen by the adenohypophysis. |

3. | estrogen | 4. | progesterone |
Consider the following statements:
I: | The uterine endometrium undergoes cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle. |
II: | Estrogen secreted during the pre-ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle helps in the development of follicle. |
III: | hCG secreted by trophoblast cells helps in maintaining corpus luteum. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
Consider the following statements:
I: | The primary follicles present at birth carry primary oocytes arrested at meiosis I. |
II: | The secondary oocyte arrested at meiosis II is released at ovulation. |

Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
