Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Like spermatogenesis in the male, oogenesis forms gametes that have a haploid number of chromosomes. Unlike spermatogenesis that produces 4 viable spermatids from each spermatogonia, oogenesis produces only 1 viable ovum from each oogonia. Neither spermatogenesis nor oogenesis produces gametes with a diploid number of chromosomes.
