Question
Chapter 44, Problem 9TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To review:
The existence of the pheromones on the basis of the data provided in the question.
Introduction:
The regular natural changes that occur in the reproductive system of women, specifically in the ovaries and uterus, are referred to as menstrual cycle. These events are necessary for the pregnancy to occur in women.
The graph given in the problem provides the data on the date of onset of the menstrual cycle of a group of women. The y-axis of the graph represents the mean difference between the onset of a particular woman’s menstrual cycle and the average onset date of the rest of the women, while the x-axis represents the time period.

Explain pheromones and theorize why they are not significantly employed by humans.
In animals, pheromones can affect many different behaviors. Because humans do produce a number of airborne chemicals, what potential human behaviors could be affected by these chemicals? How would these pheromones be received, and would we necessarily be conscious of their effects on us?
Use the following information to answer the next question.
Which of the following graphs demonstrate the levels of progesterone in a woman who became pregnant?
Select one:
a. B
