Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There can be up to 600, 000 oogonia by the 8th week of development and up to 7, 000, 000 by the 5th month. Eventually, the oogonia will either degenerate or further differentiate into primary oocytes through asymmetric division.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oocyte maturation is the terminal process of oogenesis during which fully grown oocytes initiate meiotic divisions and become fertilizable (see [11] for review). The onset of oocyte maturation is signalled by breakdown of the oocyte nucleus, the germinal vesicle (GV).
