Verified step by step guidance

Understand the process of oogenesis: Oogenesis is the development of the female gametes, or ova, through a series of stages that include two rounds of meiotic division.

Identify the stages of oogenesis: It begins with a primary oocyte, which undergoes the first meiotic division to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The secondary oocyte then undergoes the second meiotic division to form one mature ovum and additional polar bodies.

Clarify the outcome of oogenesis: Unlike spermatogenesis, which produces four viable sperm cells, oogenesis results in one mature ovum and polar bodies, which are not viable gametes.

Examine the timing of oogenesis: Oogenesis begins during fetal development, with primary oocytes arrested in prophase I until puberty. It is completed after fertilization when the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II.

Identify the false statement: The statement 'Oogenesis produces four viable gametes from one primary oocyte' is false because oogenesis results in one mature ovum and polar bodies, not four viable gametes.
