In humans, egg production (oogenesis) differs from sperm production (spermatogenesis) in that oogenesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oogenesis results in the production of polar bodies, which are by-products of the meiotic divisions that lead to the formation of a single viable ovum (egg) from each primary oocyte. Polar bodies do not develop into eggs; instead, they usually degenerate. This process is distinct from spermatogenesis, where each spermatogonium leads to the formation of four viable sperm cells without producing analogous by-products.
