The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Leydig's cells or interstitial cells of testes are large, polygonal cells that lie in the connective tissue present between the seminiferous tubules. They secrete androgens, the male sex hormones e.g., testosterone into the blood. Androgens control male sexual characteristics including facial and pubic hairs.
