What forms part of the primary follicle in the ovary?

A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of enlarged cuboidal epithelium. Recall that previously, there was a primary oocyte in a primordial follicle surrounded by a thinner single layer of squamous follicular cells.

Difference between primary and secondary oocyte?

Any oogonia that has arrested itself in meiosis I prophase-dipotene on the onset of OMI (oocye maturation inhibition) hormone in the 3rd month of pregnancy and there after is a primary oocyte. On the urge of Leutinizing hormone which induces the pre-ovulatory phase, the primary oocyte completes meiosis I and arrests itself in meiosis II metaphase, which would only be completed if fertilization occurs, otherwise it will degenrate in 24 hours. On the completion of meiosis I, a SECONDARY oocyte and forst polar body is going to be formed.


How many egg cells come form a female germ cell?

One primary oocyte divides by meiosis and produces one polar body and one secondary oocyte. The polar body goes on to produce two more polar bodies, and the secondary oocyte divides into one polar body and one ovum. Therefore, one cell is produced from one primary oocyte.


Is the primary oocyte diploid?

92 In women, gametogenesis begins in fetal life, but is arrested in prophase of meiosis I for years until just before ovulation. This arrested oocyte is called the "primary oocyte". The human genome consists of 23 chromosomes, and normal somatic cells in humans have two of each chromosome (2N) in the resting state. Since the DNA in the primary oocyte has already replicated and but hasn't undergone division yet, the cell contains double the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Therefore the primary oocyte has 92 chromosomes (4N). Keep in mind though, that just before ovulation, the cell will complete meisois I and be released as 2N (the other 2N is split off as the 1st polar body). This released cell (secondary oocyte) which is now 2N is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II until fertilized, where it will release a second polar body (which now only has 1N). The fertilized egg therefore has two copies of chromosomes, 23 from mother (from the original 92 you started out with), and 23 from the sperm.


What is metamorphosis in case of the development of spermatogenasis?

The progressive changes going on with the primordial germ cell resulting its differentiation into primary oocyte; secondary oocyte; spermati and finally spermatozoa is called metamorphosis in spermatogenasis. Javeed Farooqi M.sc
