Read the following passage and answer the next five questions: The reproductive cycle of female primates is called menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle starts only after attaining sexual maturation (puberty). Generally, during ovulation only one ovum is released per menstrual cycle. The cyclical changes in the ovary and the uterus during menstrual cycle are induced by changes in the levels of pituitary and ovarian hormones. After coitus, sperms are transported to the junction of the isthmus and ampulla, where the sperm fertilises the ovum leading to formation of a diploid zygote.
Which of the following does not take place before ovulation in human females?
The corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone.
Before ovulation:
1. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) levels increase to stimulate follicular development (Option 1).
2. LH surge leads to the rupture of the Graafian follicle, releasing the ovum (Option 4).
3. The corpus luteum forms after ovulation and secretes large amounts of progesterone. Hence, Option 2 does not occur before ovulation.
