Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: There are four phases of the menstrual cycle.
Rationale 2: Four hormones control ovulation and, therefore, the menstrual cycle.
Rationale 3: During the secretory phase, the endometrium is thickest, and glycogen is produced to nourish a fertilized ovum, causing the woman to be most fertile.
Rationale 4: Although the length of the menstrual cycle might vary, the phases of the menstrual cycle always occur in the same order.
