Cells in an ovary that may undergo meiotic division to form an ovum.
Oocytes in dormant follicles are primary oocytes arrested at prophase I of meiosis. They are typically around 20-30 micrometers in diameter.
During oogenesis, an oogonium gives rise to primary oocytes. These primary oocytes then undergo meiosis to become secondary oocytes.
Oocytes are arrested in the prophase stage of meiosis I during their development.

Eggs develop in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. It begins with the division of stem cells in the ovary, which develop into primary oocytes. These primary oocytes then undergo meiosis to produce secondary oocytes, which are eventually released during ovulation.
Primary oocytes are diploid cells that have undergone DNA replication but are arrested in prophase I of meiosis, whereas secondary oocytes are haploid cells resulting from the division of primary oocyte after completing meiosis I. Secondary oocytes are arrested in metaphase II and are released during ovulation, while primary oocytes are present in the ovaries prior to puberty.
Eggs, or ova, are produced from immature cells called oocytes. Oocytes are formed in the ovaries through the process of oogenesis. Once an oocyte matures, it becomes an egg capable of being fertilized by sperm.
it is a type of frog/toad
Eggs will not form
Each oogonium undergoes mitosis to produce primary oocytes, which then enter meiosis. During meiosis, each primary oocyte completes the first meiotic division to form one secondary oocyte and one polar body. However, only the secondary oocyte is viable. Therefore, from 20 oogonia, 20 primary oocytes are formed, leading to the production of 20 secondary oocytes.
