Oogenesis is the name of the process by which female egg cells or oocytes develop to create an ovum, or egg cell. These cells go through a three step process; oogonium to a primary oocyte, secondary oocyte, and finally an ovum. The whole process occurs in the female ovaries.

Where does Oogenesis occurs?
Oogenesis occurs in the ovaries of females.
Which process result in the production of polar bodies?
oogenesis
How does oogenesis compare to the final product of spermatogenesis in males?
meiosis is the process; males produce four haploid gametes (sperm) while in females only a single haploid gamete (egg) is produced. The other three cells (polar bodies) fail to mature and die.
Oogenesis takes place in the what?
In most animals it takes place in the female gonads, the ovaries.
How do oogenesis and spermantogenesis differ?
In oogenesis after the first meiotic division one egg and one tiny cell are created. In Meiosis II the egg and three small cells are created. The three small cells are thrown away and the egg undergoes fertilization. In spermatogenesis after meiosis II four working sperms are ready to be used. There is only one usable cell created in oogenesis while in spermatogenesis four cells are created. the end result of oogenesis is only one viable cell while in sprematogenesis there are four.
Where does Oogenesis occurs?
Oogenesis occurs in the ovaries of females.
What the process of meiosis in females?
oogenesis
How are eggs produced in females?
through oogenesis
What does gametogenesis in females do?
Gametogenesis in females is called oogenesis and is the development of unfertilised eggs called ova
What is the name for male meiosis?
It is called spermatogenesis and for females it is called oogenesis.
Two examples of gametogenesis?
Gametogenesis is defined as the production of gametes, or sex cells. The two examples would be spermatogenesis (production of sperm in males) and oogenesis (production of eggs in females.)

How do oogenesis?
oogenesis The production and development of an egg
Cells oogenesis produce?
oogenesis is the process of making an egg
What is the egg produced by female's called?
It's called the Egg...
Does meiosis in females only complete if oocyte is fertilized?
The answer is yes. Female infants are born with primary oocytes that are stalled in prophase I until puberty. At the onset of puberty, the ovaries begin oogenesis. During oogenesis, three polar bodies and one functional gamete are produced. Oogenesis is achieved through meiosis. However, the ovulated secondary oocyte arrests in metaphase II and does not complete meiosis II until it is fertilized.
When does crossing over occur for oogenesis?
prophase I, exactly in pachytene the synaptonemal complex is formed between the thickened chromosomes and recombination or crossing over occurs.
