Solution

If both assertion and reason are false.

The female secondary sexual characters are developed by estrogens. Estrogens are steroid hormones secreted by growing ovarian follicles. It includes estradiol, estriol and estrone. This hormone is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual and accessory characters. In humans it is also formed in the adrenal cortex, testis and foetoplacental unit. Gonadotrophic hormones (LH and FSH) are secreted by the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. LH is responsible for ovulation and transforms graafian follicle into corpus luteum and FSH stimulates spermatogenesis and maturation of graafian follicle and secretion of estrogen in ovaries.
