Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
List-I mixes male and female structures with a hormone and a secretion; each item is placed by the organ or gland it belongs to or comes from.
(A) Prostate gland — this matches (III) Male accessory gland. The prostate, the seminal vesicles and the bulbourethral glands are the male accessory glands; their secretions make the seminal plasma.
(B) Corpus luteum — this matches (I) Progesterone. After ovulation, the remaining parts of the Graafian follicle form the corpus luteum, which secretes large amounts of progesterone to maintain the endometrium.
(C) Colostrum — this matches (IV) Mammary gland. It is the milk produced by the mammary glands in the first few days of lactation and it contains several antibodies.
(D) Penis — this matches (II) Male external genitalia. It is made of special tissue that helps in its erection to facilitate insemination.
