Answer 1

The order and number of days of the three ovarian cycle phases are: Follicular phase (14 days), Ovulation (1 day), and Luteal phase (14 days), which corresponds to option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked about the order and number of days of the three ovarian cycle phases. The correct sequence and duration for each phase within the ovarian cycle are as follows: The follicular phase typically lasts for 14 days, starting from day 1 and ending right before ovulation. Then, ovulation occurs approximately around day 14 and lasts for about 1 day. Immediately following ovulation, the luteal phase begins and continues for around 14 days, marking the end of the cycle with the onset of menstruation if no pregnancy has occurred.

The correct option that reflects these durations is A) Follicular (14 days), Ovulation (1 day), Luteal (14 days).
