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: -During the process of oogenesis, 4 haploid cells or eggs are produced during 1 round of meiosis, but only 1 egg will be viable. Therefore, the statement that is true regarding oogenesis is c) 4 eggs are produced, only 1 is viable.
Detailed explanation-3: -The answer statement is (2). Most of the genetic content from the primary oocyte goes into the secondary oocyte but a little amount is passed to the polar body. Hence, the statement that the polar body receives none of the genetic content from the primary oocyte is “false”.
Detailed explanation-4: -During Oogenesis, in human female, a primary oocyte produces four haploid cells. Out of these four haploid cells, only one is used in reproduction.
