Which of the following statements are true for spermatogenesis but...
Which of the following statements are true for spermatogenesis but do not hold true for Oogenesis?
(a) It results in the formation of haploid gametes
(b) Differentiation of gamete occurs after the completion of meiosis
(c) Meiosis occurs continuously in a mitotically dividing stem cell population
(d) It is controlled by the Luteinising hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary
(e) It is initiated at puberty
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(b) and (c) only
- B(b), (d) and (e) only
- C(b), (c) and (e) only
- D(c) and (e) only
Correct answer
D. (c) and (e) only
Step-by-step solution
Following features of spermatogenesis are not applicable on the oogenesis:
- Meiosis occurs continuously in a mitotically dividing stem cell population.
- In case of oogenesis, gamete formation is held at meiosis-I till puberty and then held at meiosis-II till fertilization of ovum by sperm.
- Oogenesis is initiated during embryonic development while spermatogenesis is initiated at puberty.
So, statements c and e are not applicable to the oogenesis.
