The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down the information regarding androgens and progesterone, their secretion, and their roles in both males and females. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Androgens**: - Androgens are a group of hormones that are often referred to as male sex hormones. The most well-known androgen is testosterone. - While androgens are primarily produced in males (specifically by Leydig cells in the testes), they are also produced in females, albeit in smaller amounts. In females, androgens are secreted by the adrenal cortex and ovaries. 2. **Understanding Progesterone**: - Progesterone is a steroid hormone that plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system, particularly in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. - It is primarily secreted by the corpus luteum in females after ovulation. However, small amounts of progesterone can also be produced in males, primarily by the adrenal glands. 3. **Evaluating Statement-I**: - Statement-I claims that androgens are secreted only in males. This is incorrect because, while males produce more androgens, females also produce them in smaller quantities. 4. **Evaluating Statement-II**: - Statement-II claims that progesterone is secreted only in females. This is also incorrect since males can produce small amounts of progesterone as well. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are incorrect. Androgens are not exclusively secreted in males, and progesterone is not exclusively secreted in females. Therefore, the correct answer is that both Statement-I and Statement-II are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are incorrect. ---
