Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Progesterone is primarily produced by the corpus luteum in the ovaries, particularly during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. While it does not inhibit the formation of secondary sexual characteristics, it can exert negative feedback over testosterone secretion, which is produced primarily by the testes in men. However, this is not a primary function of progesterone. Therefore, the best choice is A.
