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.

Oogenesis is the process of forming female gametes (eggs) and it primarily occurs in the ovaries. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain also play roles in regulating the hormones (FSH and LH) required for oogenesis to occur.


What is the process of egg formation called?

When does oogenesis stop?

Oogenesis, which is the process of forming eggs in females, typically stops at menopause, around the age of 45-55. At this point, the ovaries cease to release eggs due to declining hormone levels.


Meiosis in females is called?

Meiosis in females is called oogenesis. It is the process in which a diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce one haploid egg cell and two polar bodies.


Does meiosis in females only complete if oocyte is fertilized?

No, meiosis in females completes when the oocyte is ovulated, regardless of whether fertilization occurs. If fertilization occurs, the second stage of meiosis is completed by the fusion of the oocyte with a sperm cell. If fertilization does not occur, the oocyte degenerates and is eventually expelled from the body during menstruation.
