In female mammals, oogenesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oogenesis in female mammals is cyclical, occurring in cycles that are typically monthly in humans, as part of the menstrual cycle. It does not occur continuously throughout adulthood, nor does it begin at puberty (primary oocytes are produced before birth and remain dormant until puberty). It occurs in the ovaries, not the uterus, and does not directly require progesterone for the process itself, though hormones including progesterone play roles in the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
