Answer 1

The life of corpus luteum is generally about 14 days in the absence of pregnancy.

Explanation:

The corpus luteum develops during the luteal (secretory) phase of the menstrual cycle, which lasts from day 51 to day 281 of the cycle. The corpus luteum degenerates if fertilisation does not occur, resulting in the menstrual cycle.
