Question

two hormones associated with the female reproductive cycle are ____.
options: oxytocin and prolactin; prolactin and estrogen; oxytocin and estrogen; progesterone and estrogen

Explanation:

In the female reproductive cycle, estrogen and progesterone play key roles. Estrogen helps in follicular development and endometrial growth, while progesterone prepares the uterus for implantation and maintains pregnancy. Oxytocin is related to childbirth and lactation, and prolactin is for milk production, so they are not the main hormones of the reproductive cycle. Thus, the correct pair is progesterone and estrogen.

Answer:

D. progesterone and estrogen
