Explanation:

Mimicry refers to the resemblance of organisms of two different species with respect to structural, behavioral or physical features. Mimicry helps a defenseless species (mimic) to protect itself against predation due to its resemblance to the aggressive and dangerous species (a model).

For example, harmless king snake mimics venomous coral snake to avoid the predators. It represents the Batesian mimicry.

In other cases, predators may use mimicry to catch their food organisms. In Mullerian mimicry, two or more harmful species resemble each other.

the level of progesterone is low at the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle but it gradually increases and the levels are high at the luteal phase. if pregnancy occurs, the level of progesterone will be high throughout the pregnancy.

if egg is fertilized and the mother gets pregnant, progesterone starts preparing the uterus for the implantation. it starts building up the lining of uterus and make it hostile of the period of pregnancy.
