Question

Only the dominant follicle survives this dip in FSH and its secretion of estrogen rises significantly in the late follicular phase.

A) True

B) False

Answer 1

The dominant follicle survives the dip in FSH and produces significantly higher amounts of estrogen in the late follicular phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is True. Only the dominant follicle survives the reduction in FSH levels and continues to secrete estrogen in the late follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. This dominant follicle produces significantly higher amounts of estrogen compared to the developing follicles that didn't survive. The high concentrations of estrogen trigger a positive feedback loop, leading to the secretion of larger amounts of LH and FSH by the anterior pituitary gland.
