Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Milk secretion is maintained as long as breast feeding, and hence hormone production continues. A woman does not conceive during the lactation period because lactation stimulates prolactin secretion and there is evidence that prolactin inhibits GnRH secretion, and antagonises the action of gonadotrophins on the ovaries. Ovulation is inhibited, and the ovaries are inactive, so estrogen and progesterone output falls to low levels. Thus, during lactation a woman does not conceive. Only 5-10% chances are there during lactation period. This can also be interpreted as mechanism devised by nature so that mother can look after the new born child by providing it with milk.
