QUESTION

Mullerian inhibiting substance is responsible for suppression of?

OPTIONS

(A) Paramesonephric duct
(B) Mullerian duct
(C) Both (A) and (B)
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(C) Both (A) and (B)

EXPLANATION

Mullerian inhibiting substance, also called anti-Mullerian hormone, causes regression of the fetal paramesonephric ducts during male differentiation. Mullerian duct and paramesonephric duct are two names for the same structure. Consequently, both (A) and (B) are correct rather than mutually exclusive choices. This hormone does not itself account for all aspects of male reproductive tract development.
