Answer 1

Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Explanation:

• Statement I ✅ , GH (Growth Hormone) secretion is indeed highest during puberty, as this is the phase of rapid growth and development.
• Statement II ✅ , GH is secreted throughout life (not just during puberty) by the anterior pituitary. In adults, it continues to play a vital role in the repair and replacement of cells, metabolism, and tissue maintenance.

So both statements are independently correct.
