A scientist was looking at using different hormones in the blood as a marker for pregnancy. Which of the following hormones will not be ideal for this?(a) Progesterone(b) Chorionic gonadotrophin(c) Relaxin(d) Placental lactogenThis question was addressed to me in an interview.The query is from Human Reproduction topic in portion Human Reproduction of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) Progesterone

To EXPLAIN I would SAY: To use hormone as a detector for PREGNANCY, the hormone should be released only during pregnancy. Such hormones are HPL, hCG, and relaxin. Progesterone is not specific to pregnancy and hence cannot SERVE the purpose.
