Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R :
Assertion A : FSH acts upon ovarian follicles in female and Leydig cells in male.
Reason R : Growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen in female while interstitial cells secrete androgen in male human being.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Assertion (A) is false because FSH acts on ovarian follicles in females and Sertoli cells in males, not Leydig cells.

Reason (R) is true because growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogen, and interstitial cells (Leydig cells) secrete androgens in males.

Thus, the correct answer is (4) A is false, but R is true.
