Oogenesis is a gametogenic process in which cells undergo ________ to produce ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oogenesis is the process by which female gametes or egg cells are produced. It involves meiosis, a specialized type of cell division that results in the production of haploid daughter cells (eggs) from diploid precursor cells. Sperm cells are produced through spermatogenesis, which also involves meiosis but occurs in the testes of the male reproductive system. Therefore, option A, D, and E are incorrect choices. Option B is incorrect because after mitosis, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and retain the same ploidy level, whereas oogenesis requires the reduction in the number of chromosomes by half.
