Question

During an active menstrual cycle, what is the indication that no fertilisation of the ovum has taken place?

• A. Release of mature ovum
• B. Menstrual blood flow
• C. Release of sperms
• D. Imbalance of sex hormones

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Menstrual blood flow

During a menstrual cycle, if the ovum is not fertlilised, then, the endometrial lining starts shedding off along with the blood and mucus, through the vagina. This shedding off of the endometrial lining, every month, in the absence of fertilisation is called menstruation. It lasts for 3-7 days.
