Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both are forms of meiosis in which the daughter cells contain half the diploid chromosome number. Oogenesis will pause during the course of the monthly cycle. Only spermatogenesis will result in four daughter cells. Oogenesis produces one egg and two to three polar bodies. Spermatogenesis does not pause in prophase I. Only oogenesis results in polar bodies.
