Each oogonium containing 46 chromosomes produces how many mature fertilizable ova?
Correct answer: D. 1
- A. 400,000
- B. 400
- C. 4
- D. 1
Explanation
One is the correct answer. Each oogonium containing 46 chromosomes ultimately produces one mature fertilizable ovum through the process of oogenesis. This is because, during oogenesis, one primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to produce one functional ovum along with polar bodies, which do not develop into ova.
