Vitellogenesis is regulated by which hormone?

A. JH

B. MH

C. Brain hormone

D. Bursicone

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Vitellogenesis is regulated by JH hormone.
Insect vitellogenesis is governed by two critical hormones, the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone (JH) and the ecdysteriod 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E).
JH acts as the principal gonadotropic hormone to stimulate vitellogenesis in basal hemimetabolous and most holometabolous insects. Juvenile hormones are secreted by a pair of endocrine glands behind the brain called the corpora allata. JHs are also important for the production of eggs in female insects.
