Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary oocytes are the cells that enter meiosis during fetal development and stop in prophase I. Female babies are born with about 2 million of these cells.

Answer: D
 During oogenesis, a primary oocyte divides unequally to produce a secondary oocyte and a small, non-functional polar body.

Answer: C
 The secondary oocyte is the cell that is ovulated during the menstrual cycle and is capable of being fertilized by a sperm.

Answer: A
 Oogonia are the precursor cells to primary oocytes and undergo mitotic divisions to increase in number during fetal development.

Answer: E
 The corpus luteum is a structure that forms from the remnants of the follicle after ovulation and produces hormones to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. It is not involved in the development of the human egg.
