Which of the following is a difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis?
Oogenesis uses mitosis, and spermatogenesis uses meiosis. In oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the four cells that result from meiosis are each about the same size. In oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the four cells that result from meiosis become mature gametes. In sexually mature adults, oogenesis occurs in monthly cycles whereas spermatogenesis occurs continuously.Explanation / Answer
d. In sexually mature adults, oogenesis occurs in monthly cycles whereas spermatogenesis occurs continuously.
“Spermatogenesis” refers to a process, in which a matured “sperm” is produced from a male germ cell. And “oogenesis” is the production of matured “ovum or egg” from a female germ cell. In females, oogenesis occurs only during the mid of the menstrual cycle, whereas males produce sperms continuously. Of the four gametes produced by meiosis if females, only one is functional and remaining three are polar bodies (cannot be fertilized).
