The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about human reproduction are correct, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Mammary glands are modified sweat glands and each mammary gland consists of 15-25 lobules of the compound tubulo-alveolar type." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Mammary glands are indeed modified sweat glands and are responsible for lactation in mammals. They consist of 15-25 lobules, which are of the compound tubulo-alveolar type, containing alveoli that produce milk. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The tertiary follicle is characterised by a fluid filled cavity called antrum." - **Analysis**: This statement is also true. The tertiary follicle, also known as the Graafian follicle, is characterized by the presence of an antrum, which is a fluid-filled cavity that plays a crucial role in the development of the secondary oocyte. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Both LH and FSH attain a peak level towards the middle of the menstrual cycle." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) both reach peak levels around the time of ovulation, which occurs approximately in the middle of the menstrual cycle (around day 14). 4. **Statement (iv)**: "In oogenesis, both first and second meiotic divisions are unequal." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. In oogenesis, the first meiotic division produces one large ovum and a smaller polar body, while the second meiotic division also produces one large ovum and another polar body, resulting in unequal distribution of cytoplasm. ### Conclusion: All four statements are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is: **D) All statements are correct.**
