Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of oogenesis, which is the development of mature egg cells (ova) in females.
Identify the primary female reproductive organs involved in oogenesis. These are the ovaries.
Recall that the ovaries are responsible for producing and releasing eggs, as well as secreting hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Differentiate between the structures listed: Fallopian Tubes, Uterus, and Testes. Note that the Fallopian Tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, the Uterus is where a fertilized egg implants and grows, and the Testes are male reproductive organs.
Conclude that oogenesis occurs in the ovaries, as they are the site of egg cell development and maturation.
