Column I	Column II
A. Hypothalamus	(i) Relaxin
B. Anterior pituitary	(ii) Progesterone
C. Testis	(iii) FSH and LH
D. Ovary	(iv) Androgen
	(v) Gonadotropin releasing hormone

• A. A-(v), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(ii)
• B. A-(v), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(iv)
• C. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iv), D-(iii)
• D. A-(iii), B-(v), C-(iv), D-(ii)

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-(v), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(ii)

A. Hypothalamus: It is located in the base of the diencephalon. It releases releasor hormone(stimulate anterior pituitary) and inhibiting hormone( inhibit anterior pituitary). So, hypothalamus stimulates gonadotrophin-releasing hormone.

B. Anterior pituitary: It stimulates FSH and LH whose function is to stimulate spermatogenesis in male and growth of ovarian follicle in the female.

C. Testis: It secretes androgen in males such as testosterone whose function develops male reproductive organs and accessory sexual characters.

D. Ovary: It stimulates estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone stops egg production, attaches foetus to the uterine wall.

So, the correct answer is 'A- v, B-iii, C-iv, D-ii'.
