Assertion: Emergency contraceptive pills contain high dosages of progesterone.
Reason: Progesterone thickens cervical mucus and prevents sperm from entering the uterine cavity.
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
If the Assertion is True but the Reason is False.
If both Assertion & Reason are false.
Answers (1)
In this case, the Assertion is true, as emergency contraceptive pills do contain high dosages of progesterone. However, the Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. While progesterone is present in emergency contraceptive pills, its primary mechanism of action is not through thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterine cavity. Instead, emergency contraceptive pills mainly work by inhibiting or delaying ovulation, preventing the release of an egg for fertilization. Hence, the correct answer is option 2 stating that both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
