Question 1 • Biology - SC3209 IC

What is one difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis?

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

Explanation

Oogenesis is the process of producing egg cells and occurs in females, while spermatogenesis produces sperm cells and occurs in males. Both processes involve meiosis and differentiation, so choices C and D do not describe a difference. Choice B also reverses when the processes begin.
