Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In oogenesis, how many FUNCTIONAL haploid cells are formed?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Female gametogenesis, also known as oogenesis, results in mature eggs. As a result of meiosis, only one egg is generated from four haploid cells. The primary oocyte undergoes the first meiotic division, resulting in the formation of a secondary oocyte (haploid).

Detailed explanation-2: -In human females, the process that produces mature eggs is called oogenesis. Just one egg is produced from the four haploid cells that result from meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oogenesis occurs in the outermost layers of the ovaries. As with sperm production, oogenesis starts with a germ cell, called an oogonium (plural: oogonia), but this cell undergoes mitosis to increase in number, eventually resulting in up to one to two million cells in the embryo.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Oogenesis there is only one ovum is produced due to unequal division of meiosis producing one haploid cell. Mature eggs are produced during female gametogenesis or oogenesis. Meiosis causes 4 haploid cells to divide into a single egg.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oogenesis in the female results in one functional gamete-the ovum, or egg-whereas spermatogenesis in males results in four functional gametes.
