Final answer:
Female gametes are called eggs and the process of their production is called oogenesis. Primary oocytes, secondary oocytes, and polar bodies are involved in oogenesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The female gametes are called eggs and the process that produces mature eggs is called oogenesis.
Oogenesis begins with the formation of primary oocytes during fetal development. These primary oocytes are arrested in the first stage of meiosis and resume it later, starting at puberty. Only one mature egg is produced from the four haploid cells that result from meiosis.
During oogenesis, one cell called the secondary oocyte receives most of the cellular material and organelles, while the other cell called the polar body usually dies. The secondary oocyte is released during ovulation and if fertilized, it completes meiosis and becomes a fertilized egg with 46 chromosomes.
