What is/are key difference(s) between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
I: Spermatogenesis produces four viable sperm, while oogenesis results in one ovum and polar bodies.
II: Spermatogenesis occurs throughout life since birth, whereas oogenesis is completed before birth.
 
1. Only I 2. Only II
3. Both I and II 4. Neither I nor II

What is the role played by the tiny polar bodies formed during oogenesis?
1. They act as reserve eggs for fertilization.
2. They provide nutrition to the ovum.
3. They act as dumping grounds for additional genetic material.
4. They form the placenta.

Which of the following statements about oogenesis in humans is incorrect?
1. Oogenesis begins before birth with the formation of primary oocytes during fetal development.
2. A secondary oocyte is released during ovulation, and meiosis II is completed after fertilization.
3. All primary oocytes continue meiosis I during puberty, resulting in the formation of secondary oocytes.
4. The first meiotic division is begun prior to birth, resulting in the formation of primary oocytes that remain arrested in prophase I until puberty.

The division of primary oocyte results in:

1.  unequal cells – a smaller haploid secondary oocyte and a larger diploid polar body
2.  unequal cells – a larger haploid secondary oocyte and a smaller haploid polar body
3.  unequal cells – a smaller diploid secondary oocyte and a larger haploid polar body
4.  equal cells – a haploid secondary oocyte and a haploid polar body
