After leaving the testes, spermatozoa pass sequentially through the :

1. seminiferous tubule, rete testis, efferent ductule, and epididymis
2. epididymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicle, and ejaculatory duct
3. membranous urethra, prostatic urethra, and spongy urethra
4. epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra

In the hormonal regulation of the male reproductive system:

1. Spermatogenesis starts due to a significant decrease in the secretion of GnRH
2. LH acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of some factors required for effective spermiogenesis
3. FSH acts on Leydig cells and stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens
4. Androgens stimulate the process of spermatogenesis

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): hCG can also be used clinically to induce ovulation in the ovaries as well as testosterone production in the testes.
Reason (R): hCG resembles FSH in function.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false
