Which statement about human reproduction is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A human oocyte only completes meiosis II after a sperm penetrates it. This is known as fertilization and is required for the completion of meiosis II in the female gamete.

Answer: D 
 The earliest stages of spermatogenesis occur closest to the lumen of the seminiferous tubules. This is where spermatogonia undergo mitosis and produce primary spermatocytes, which then undergo meiosis I. As the cells move towards the outer wall of the tubules, they undergo further differentiation and maturation.

Option A is incorrect because spermatogonia and oogonia are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and eggs, respectively). Option B is incorrect because spermatogenesis occurs at temperatures that are slightly cooler than core body temperature, while oogenesis occurs at core body temperature.
