Which cells produce oogonia in ovary?
Correct answer: C. Germ cells
- A. Stromal cells
- B. Epithelial cells
- C. Germ cells
- D. Theca cells
Explanation
The cells that produce oogonia in the ovary are called primordial germ cells (PGCs). Primordial germ cells migrate to the developing ovaries during embryonic development and give rise to oogonia. Oogonia undergo several rounds of mitosis to increase their numbers. However, before birth, the oogonia enter a state of meiotic arrest and become primary oocytes.
