Final answer:
The gland that initiates the onset of puberty is the hypothalamus, which signals the anterior pituitary gland.
The answer is option ⇒1
Step-by-step explanation:
The pituitary gland then secretes hormones that target the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females). In males, the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the testes to produce testosterone.
Testosterone is responsible for the physical changes such as increased muscle mass, growth of facial hair, and a deeper voice. In females, the pituitary hormones LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen, leading to the growth of the uterus and ovaries, the start of the menstrual cycle, and development of breasts and hips.
The answer is option ⇒1
