Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: FSH acts upon ovarian follicles in female and Leydig cells in male.
Statement II: Growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen in female while interstitial cells secrete androgen in male human beings.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
(2) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(3) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: D — Statement I is false but Statement II is trueStep-by-step Solution:Statement I: FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) acts on ovarian follicles in females (promotes follicular growth and estrogen secretion). In males, FSH acts on Sertoli cells (to support spermatogenesis), not on Leydig cells. Leydig cells are stimulated by LH (luteinizing hormone). Hence, Statement I is false.Statement II: Growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen (mainly estradiol) in females. In males, interstitial cells (Leydig cells) secrete androgens (mainly testosterone). Hence, Statement II is true.Thus, I false, II true corresponds to option D.Key Concepts: Gonadotropins: FSH and LH, target organs and cells in males and females, hormone secretion patterns.
