| 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. |
| Assertion (A): | During menstrual cycle, the ovulation takes place approximately on 14th day. |
| Reason (R): | Rapid secretion of LH in the middle of menstrual cycle induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum. |

| Assertion (A): | Endometrium is necessary for implantation of blastocyst. |
| Reason (R): | In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates that causes disintegration of endometrium. |

No new follicles develop in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle because :
| 1. | Follicles do not remain in the ovary after ovulation |
| 2. | FSH levels are high in the luteal phase |
| 3. | LH levels are high in the luteal phase |
| 4. | Both FSH and LH levels are low in the luteal phase |
