Question

From germinal cell to the formation of ovum, meiotic division takes place in ______.

पर्याय

• oogonium

• primordial germ cell

• primary oocyte

• secondary oocyte

Answer 1

From germinal cell to the formation of ovum, meiotic division takes place in primary oocyte.

Explanation:

Meiotic division from the germinal cell to the formation of the ovum takes place in the primary oocyte. The primary oocyte undergoes the first meiotic division to form a larger secondary oocyte and a smaller polar body. The second meiotic division starts in the secondary oocyte but is completed only after fertilization, producing the mature ovum. Thus, the meiotic division process mainly occurs during the primary oocyte stage.
