The procedure by which the female gametes or ova are produced is known as oogenesis. The female gamete is known as an ovum. The process of oogenesis begins in the embryonic stage, the development of ovum takes place from the primary oocyte by maturation.
Each of the primary oocytes goes through the process of meiosis to generate one ovum. Thus, two primary oocytes will produce two ova after going through meiosis.
