Question 8 • Biology

What is one difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis?

Answer
A
Oogenesis occurs in females, but spermatogenesis occurs in males.
B
Oogenesis involves mitosis, but spermatogenesis involves meiosis.
C
Oogenesis involves differentiation, but spermatogenesis does not involve any differentiation.
D
Oogenesis starts at puberty, but spermatogenesis starts before birth.

Explanation

Oogenesis is the process of producing egg cells in females, while spermatogenesis produces sperm cells in males. Both processes involve meiosis and differentiation, so those are not differences between them. Oogenesis begins before birth, whereas spermatogenesis generally begins at puberty, making choice D the reverse of the usual timing.
