Question

The cyclic period of sexual activity in non-human female mammals is called as

• A. Menstruation
• B. Luteinization
• C. Oogenesis
• D. Estrous

Answer 1

The correct option is D Estrous

The estrous cycle is the reproductive cycle induced by the reproductive hormones estrous in most non-primate mammalian females. There are four phases in the eutrous cycle: proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus. Oogenesis is the process of formation of the ovum. Menstruation is the first phase of the menstrual cycle in primates. Luteinization is the process of development of ovarian follicle.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
