The Reproductive Process

Question 5 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which best describes oogenesis?

Answer
A
Oogenesis involves mitosis but not meiosis.
B
Oogenesis differentiates oogonia directly into eggs.
C
Oogenesis starts in development and then halts until puberty.
D
Oogenesis happens in the testes.

Explanation

Oogenesis begins before birth, when oogonia develop into primary oocytes. These oocytes pause in meiosis until puberty, when development resumes as part of the reproductive cycle. So “Oogenesis starts in development and then halts until puberty” is the best description; it involves meiosis and occurs in the ovaries, not the testes.
