Question

question 4 of 10
the hormone levels during the menstrual cycle are shown below.
what would happen if the hormone levels did not have their peak just before day 14?
a. eggs would start to mature in the ovary.
b. the egg would attach to the uterus.
c. the egg would be fertilized.
d. the ovary would not release an egg.

Explanation:

The peak of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) just before day 14 triggers ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. Without this peak, ovulation would not occur. Eggs start to mature earlier in the cycle due to FSH. Egg attachment to the uterus (implantation) and fertilization occur after ovulation.

Answer:

D. The ovary would not release an egg.
