Intensity lactating mothers do not generally conceive due to the

A

suppression of gonadotropins

B

hypersecretion of gonadotropins

C

suppression of gametic transport

D

suppression of fertilisation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Presence of prolactin hormone in the blood of lactating mothers suppresses the release of gonadotropins are required for ovulation to occur. Thus, in the absence of gonadotropins ovum is not released and hence chances of fertilisation are nil upto 6 months following parturition (if the mother is regularly breast-feeding). Therefore, intensely lactating mothers do not generally conceive.

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following question . If the heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object,the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy . The change in temperature continues till the tempertaures of both the object attain the same value . In the process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object lose heat energy . If the system of both the object is isolated form the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box ( meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two object only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Which principle do we learn about from this process ?
