Question

A spermatogonium in males is equivalent to _____________ in females.

a. oogonium
b. primitive oocyte
c. primary oocyte
d. secondary oocyte
e. tertiary oocyte

Answer 1

The answer is C: primary oocyte

Step-by-step explanation:

Ovogenesis is the process by which the ovary gives rise to a mature ovum (oocyte). The primary oocyte is the first to form during ovogonia, once the process of meiosis begins. It is compared with spermatogonium as it is also the initial phase for sperm formation.
