Which of the following correctly describes the two phases of the ovarian cycle?
1. The follicular phase involves follicle development, estrogen secretion, and endometrial growth, while the luteal phase involves corpus luteum formation and progesterone secretion.
2. The follicular phase is characterized by corpus luteum formation, while the luteal phase involves follicle development.
3. Both the follicular and luteal phases involve only estrogen secretion.
4. The luteal phase occurs before ovulation, and the follicular phase occurs after ovulation.

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. If fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum persists and continues secreting progesterone to maintain the endometrium.
2. In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to the breakdown of the endometrium and the onset of menstruation.
3. During pregnancy, cyclic menstruation continues to ensure a healthy uterine environment for foetal development.
4. Menopause marks the cessation of the menstrual cycle around the age of 50, indicating the end of the reproductive phase.

Parturition is controlled by a neuroendocrine reflex, involving oxytocin release in response to uterine contractions. How does oxytocin reinforce the process of childbirth?
1. It suppresses progesterone secretion, allowing uterine contractions to intensify.
2. It causes cervical dilation by directly acting on fetal tissues.
3. It inhibits maternal stress hormones to ensure smooth delivery.
4. It triggers stronger uterine contractions, which stimulate further oxytocin release.

Spermatogenesis begins at puberty due to increased secretion of GnRH, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH. What would be the most immediate effect of a mutation that prevents LH secretion in a developing male?
1. Leydig cells fail to produce androgens, leading to impaired spermatogenesis.
2. Sertoli cells stop supporting sperm maturation, preventing spermiogenesis.
3. Testosterone production remains unaffected due to alternative signaling pathways.
4. The anterior pituitary compensates by increasing GnRH secretion, restoring normal spermatogenesis.
