Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 19RQ
Oogenesis in the female results in one functional gamete—the egg, or ovum. What other cells are produced? What is the significance of this rather wasteful type of gamete production—that is, production of single functional gamete instead of four, as seen in males?

Describe the development of an oocyte from primordial follicle to when it is released at ovulation. How do hormones contribute to this progression? Describe the development of a spermatogonia to a spermatozoa. How do hormones contribute to this progression? What is the function of Sertoli and Leydig cells?
In humans, gametogenesis in both sexes relies on meiosis. However, spermatogenesis produces four gametes while oogenesis produces only one. Explain why this is so, including the specific structures or processes involved.
If one follows 50 primary oocytes in an animal through theirvarious stages of oogenesis, how many secondary oocytes wouldbe formed? How many first polar bodies would be formed? Howmany ootids would be formed? If one follows 50 primary spermatocytes in an animal through their various stages of spermatogenesis, how many secondary spermatocytes would beformed? How many spermatids would be formed?
