For each animal cell that begins oogenesis the number of ova

For each animal cell that begins oogenesis, the number of ova produced is four. True False

Solution

The answer is \'False\'

Oogenesis is process of differentiation in which diploid gametes of female reproductive system produces haploid egg cell (ova). However, in contrast to male process of spermatogenesis, no additional oocytes are created in the process. In process of oogenesis, oomycetes produces a single egg cell, however, in some algae, as an exceptional case, all four egg producing cells survive during oogenesis and produces four eggs.

In general, Oogenesis process occurs in the embryo sac leading to the formation of a single egg cell per ovule.
