Question
the start of oogenesis begins with which cell type?
a.) secondary oocyte
b.) oogonia
c.) primary oocyte
d.) ovum
Oogenesis is the process of female gamete formation. It begins with oogonia. Oogonia are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce more oogonia. Some oogonia then enter meiosis and become primary oocytes. Secondary oocytes are formed from primary oocytes after the first meiotic division. The ovum is the mature egg cell formed after the second meiotic division (if fertilization occurs). So, the starting cell type for oogenesis is oogonia.
