Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Degeneration of corpus luteum in the absence of fertilization is the cause for disintegration of endometrium. Statement II: Cyclic menstruation indicates normal reproductive phase in human females and extends between menarche and menopause.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A

Both Statement I and Statement II are True.

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are False.

C

Statement I is True but Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False but Statement II is True.

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook:

  • Statement I is True: In the absence of fertilisation, the corpus luteum degenerates. This degeneration causes the disintegration of the endometrium, leading to menstruation .
  • Statement II is True: Cyclic menstruation is an indicator of a normal reproductive phase and extends between menarche (the first menstruation) and menopause (cessation of menstrual cycles) .
