Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 15TY
How does the production of sperm differ from the production of eggs?
a. Sperm production involves meiosis, whereas egg production involves only mitosis.
b. Meiosis during sperm production produces four sperm cells, whereas meiosis during egg production produces only one functional egg cell.
c. Sperm are haploid, whereas eggs are diploid.
d. Sperm production begins during fetal development, whereas the meiotic process that begins egg production doesn't begin until puberty.
