Question Detail
Question
The hormone that takes over the function of luteinizing hormone& maintains the corpus luteum during pregnancy is the HCG
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
True. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced by the developing placenta after implantation. It acts similarly to Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to maintain the corpus luteum, which continues to produce progesterone and estrogen to support the pregnancy until the placenta takes over.
Hint
What is the 'pregnancy hormone' that keeps the corpus luteum active?
