If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized, which
one of the following is unlikely
- ACorpus luteum will disintegrate
- BEstrogen secretion further decreases
- CPrimary follicle starts developing
- DProgesterone secretion rapidly declines
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Since corpus luteum degenerates so progesterone also decreases rapidly (progesterone is essential for maintenance of pregnancy). Also estrogen continues to curve growth of the endometrium which ultimately becomes thick enough to break down and cause menstruation. Hence choice (c) is incorrect as estrogen secretion does not decreases further. Primary follicles start developing.
