Question

Compared to a bull, a bullock is docile due to

• A. High cortisone level
• B. High thyroxine
• C. Low blood testosterone
• D. Low adrenaline/noradrenaline in blood

Answer 1

The correct option is C Low blood testosterone

A bullock is docile (less aggressive animal which is easy to handle) because it has degenerated testes due to which it has low testosterone levels in blood. Testosterone is a sex hormone and principle androgen secreted in males by testes. It stimulates the development of secondary sex organs, sexual characters and body tissues like muscles.

So, the correct answer is 'Low blood testosterone'.
