Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Estrogens are the hormones mainly responsible for the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristics such as breast growth, widening of hips, and appearance of pubic and underarm hair. While progesterone and luteinizing hormone also play important roles in female reproductive processes, they are not primarily responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Androgens are male hormones, although they do have some effects on female secondary sexual characteristics.
