Question

which hormone triggers both the production of estrogen in female ovaries and the production of testosterone in male testes?
follicle stimulating hormone

gonadotropins

progesterone

luteinizing hormone

Explanation:

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) primarily supports follicle development in ovaries and sperm production in testes, not the main trigger for estrogen/testosterone. Gonadotropins are a group of hormones (including FSH and luteinizing hormone), not the specific hormone. Progesterone is a female sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, not related to testosterone production. Luteinizing hormone (LH) directly triggers the ovaries to produce estrogen and the testes to produce testosterone.

Answer:

luteinizing hormone
