Answer:

Acts on woman's body, preparing her for pregnancy

Step-by-step explanation:

Progesterone is a steroid hormone that has the same composition as female estrogen and male androgenic hormones.

The main function of progesterone is to prepare the membranes of the uterus to receive the egg. In addition, progesterone stimulates the preparation of mammary glands for breast milk production.
