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

Answer: (D)

A is false but R is true

Answer 2

- FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) indeed acts upon ovarian follicles in females and Leydig cells in males.

- Reason R is incorrect in stating that the interstitial cells (Leydig cells) secrete androgens; however, this secretion is not directly related to the function of FSH.

Therefore, while both A and R are true individually, R is not the correct explanation for A.
