Which of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. Oogenesis takes place in the corpus luteum
  2. Sertoli cells produce androgens
  3. Leydig cells are found in the ovary
  4. Menstrual cycle ceases during pregnancy
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Menstrual cycle ceases during pregnancy

**True:** pregnancy halts all menstrual cycle events menstruation does not occur. The other three are your syllabus-flagged false statements: androgens are made by **Leydig** (not Sertoli) cells. Leydig cells are in the **testis** (not ovary). oogenesis occurs in the **ovary** before ovulation (not in the corpus luteum).
