Question
Which of the following statements about human reproduction is true? a) Mitosis in males is also known as spermatogenesis.b) Sperm and ova are zygotes.c) O�genesis takes place in the ovaries of females.
Solution
The correct statement about human reproduction is: "Oogenesis takes place in the ovaries of females."
Here's why:
a) Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Spermatogenesis, on the other hand, is the process by which spermatozoa are produced from male primordial germ cells in testes. So, mitosis in males is not known as spermatogenesis.
b) Sperm and ova are not zygotes. A zygote is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes, in this case, the sperm (male gamete) and the ovum (female gamete).
c) Oogenesis does indeed take place in the ovaries of females. It is the process by which the female gametes, or ova, are produced.
