NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 19. Chemical coordination and integration

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\) : Assertion \(A\) : FSH acts upon ovarian follicles in female and Leydig cells in male. Reason \(R\) : Growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen in female while interstitial cells secrete androgen in male human being. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A  Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(A\)
  2. B \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
  3. C \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
  4. D Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct answer is option (\(3\)) as \(FSH\) is a gonadotropin affects ovarian follicles in females and causes their growth but in males \(LH\) affects Leydig cells leading to secretion of androgens. Growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen in females while interstitial cells secrete androgen in male human being.
