The figure shows a section of human ovary. Select the option which gives the correct identification of A and B with function/ characteristic
-
- A – Primary oocyte – it is the prophase – I of the meiotic division
- B – Corpus luteum – secretes progesterone
- A – Tertiary follicle – forms Graafian follicle
- B – Corpus luteum – secretes estrogen
Correct Option: B
The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female mammals that
is involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone. A marked in the figure shows primary follicle, a layer of granulosa cells, surrounds each primary oocyte. A large number of these follicles degenerate during the phase from birth to puberty.
