La castración tiene como fin:
- A.
Amputar el aparato reproductor
- B.
Evitar el crecimiento
- C.
Evitar el cambio de voz
- D.
Ayudar a crecer
Correct Answer
C. Evitar el cambio de vozExplanation
La castración tiene como fin evitar el cambio de voz. La castración es un procedimiento que implica la remoción o amputación del aparato reproductor, y en el caso de los hombres, esto incluye los testículos. Al eliminar los testículos, se reduce la producción de hormonas sexuales masculinas, como la testosterona, lo que puede afectar el desarrollo de las características sexuales secundarias, como el cambio de voz. Por lo tanto, la castración puede prevenir o evitar el cambio de voz que normalmente ocurre durante la pubertad en los hombres.Rate this question:
