Question

Which of the following statement is INCORRECT about the hormone melatonin?

• A. It affects the reproductive activities of the organisms
• B. It is produced by the pineal gland in the center of the brain
• C. It helps regulate the biological clock of the organism
• D. Melatonin production is low during the night and high during the day

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Melatonin production is low during the night and high during the day

Melatonin is a hormone, produced by the pineal gland present in the centre of the brain. When the level of melatonin increases we feel sleepy and when it decreases we wake up. So the production of melatonin is high during the night and low during the day.
