Question

Indicate differences between oogenesis and spermatogenesis 1. final number of gametes produced 2. timing of meiosis II 3. timing of onset of prophase I 4. final number of chromosomes in the mature gamete

Answer 1

The correct options indicating the difference s between oogenesis and spermatogenesis are;

1) Final number of gametes produced.

2) Timing of Meosis 2

3) Timing of onset of prophase 1

Oogenesis is process by which a diploid germ cell known as an oogonium which is found in the fetal ovary thereafter becomes a haploid ovum in the adult species after fertilization must have taken place.

During the initial stage of oogenesis,the diploid germ cell moves from the yolk sac to the fetal ovary from there, further mitotic division will occur.

Spermatogenesis on the other hand is simply the process by which haploid spermatozoa get developed from germ cells and finally to sperm production,this occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
