Solution
The correct answer is: "One mature ovum is produced in oogenesis, and four mature sperm are produced in spermatogenesis."
Here's why:
-
Spermatogenesis and oogenesis both involve mitosis and meiosis. They are processes of sexual reproduction and involve the division of cells.
-
In spermatogenesis, four mature sperm are produced from the parent cell. However, in oogenesis, typically only one mature ovum is produced from the parent cell. The other three cells become polar bodies, which eventually degrade. This is because the cytoplasm divides unevenly during oogenesis, with most of the cytoplasm going to one cell (the ovum) and very little going to the other cells (the polar bodies).
-
Both the mature ovum and the sperm are haploid, meaning they contain one complete set of chromosomes. This is necessary for sexual reproduction, as the fusion of the ovum and sperm (fertilization) results in a diploid cell, with two complete sets of chromosomes.
-
Two more polar bodies are not produced in spermatogenesis. In fact, polar bodies are a characteristic of oogenesis, not spermatogenesis. In spermatogenesis, all four cells produced by meiosis become mature sperm.
