Which of the following statement is false about spermatogenesis and oogenesis
Answer (1)
- Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production in males. It involves meiosis, a cell division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half. Therefore, the daughter cells produced by spermatogenesis are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.- Oogenesis is the process of egg production in females. It also involves meiosis. While oogenesis produces one viable egg cell, it also produces polar bodies, which are smaller cells that are discarded. Like sperm cells, the mature egg cell and polar bodies are haploid. Therefore, the statement that daughter cells produced from oogenesis are diploid is incorrect. Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells)
