What assertion can be made about the corpus luteum that is altered upon implantation of the developing embryo

alteration of the corpus luteum results in early pregnancy loss (early embryonic death)

Explanation:

The corpus luteum is a temporary gland structure in the female reproductive system (formed in the ovary that released its ovum), which is involved in the secretion of progesterone hormone and also moderate levels of other hormones, i.e., estradiol and inhibin A. After 7-10 weeks of gestation, this structure (corpus luteum) is replaced by the placenta that produces progesterone throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Normal progesterone levels (i.e., between 10 and 20 ng/ml) are required prior to embryo implantation, thereby alteration of the corpus luteum function will lead to disturbance of maternal recognition of pregnancy because pregnancy does not occur until the fertilized egg implants into the uterus.
