Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.arrow_forwardWhy are the offspring of a male and a hermaphrodite more variablethan the offspring of a self-reproducing hermaphrodite?arrow_forward
