Question

The progesterone is a hormone, which is

• A. A protein useful for morphogenesis
• B. Helpful in relaxing uterus during child birth
• C. An enzyme for growth
• D. Responsible for growth & maintenance of fetus

Answer 1

The correct option is D Responsible for growth & maintenance of fetus

Progesterone prepares the endometrium for the potential of pregnancy after ovulation. It triggers the lining to thicken to accept a fertilized egg. It also prohibits the muscle contractions in the uterus that could cause the body to egg. If the body does conceive, progesterone continues to stimulate the body to provide the blood vessels in the endometrium that will feed the growing fetus.

So, the correct option is 'Responsible for growth and maintenance of fetus'.
