How many viable egg cells are produced during oogenesis in females?
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is a step during spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Spermatogenesis produces four haploid sperm cells, while oogenesis produces one mature ovum.

Detailed explanation-3: -During Oogenesis, in human female, a primary oocyte produces four haploid cells. Out of these four haploid cells, only one is used in reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition, whereas male meiosis results in the production of four sperm atazoa, a single oocyte is the sole viable product of female meiosis. Half of the chromosomes from each of the two meiotic divisions are ejected in nonviable structures known as the first and second polar bodies (Fig.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, although meiosis produces four cells in total, only one of these is an egg cell. Therefore, at the end of oogenesis, from each primary oocyte that enters meiosis, the number of egg cells produced is one egg.
