Question

select the correct location on the image.
the diagram shows an unfertilized female sex cell at different locations within the reproductive system. at which location can it correctly be termed an
ovum?

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall that female sex cells (oocytes) can undergo mitotic self - renewal in the ovaries during fetal development and early life. The ovaries are the primary site where the female germ cells (which develop into sex cells) can multiply (self - renew) before entering meiosis. Among the given red - boxed locations, the lower - left red box (representing the ovary) is the correct location as it is the site of oogonial (pre - oocyte) self - renewal in the female reproductive system.

Answer:

The lower - left red - colored square (representing the ovary) is the correct location where the female sex cell can correctly be formed (self - renew).
