In testis, the immature male germ cells or spermatogonia (2n) multiply by mitotic division and increase in number. Some spermatogonia (2n) known as primary spermatocytes divide by meiotic division to form secondary spermatocytes (n). The secondary spermatocytes undergo second meiotic division to produce spermatid which are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis.
Correct Option: C

During menstrual or bleeding phase which comprises of 3 - 5 days out of 28 days menstrual cycle, the production of LH from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is considerably reduced. The withdrawal of this hormone causes degeneration of corpus luteum and therefore, progesterone production is reduced. Production of estrogens is also reduced in this phase.Correct Option: D
