tOogenesis (process)From puberty, hormones are cyclically released from the anterior pituitary gland•tThese stimulate one primary oocyte within a primary follicle to complete the meiosis I cycle (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)) •tThe division of the cytoplasm at the end of meiosis I is uneven, producing a large haploid secondary oocyte and a small haploid polar body which usually disintegrates •tThe division of the chromosomes is even •tThe large secondary oocyte progresses through meiosis II as far as metaphase II before its development is halted again•tThe secondary oocyte is released from the ovary in the process of ovulation

B. Males produce sperm , whereas with oogenesis a woman's ovary releases only per month. C. By birth all oogonia transform into and go as far as meiosis I. D. Egg development resumes in adolescence, when monthly cohorts of oocytes are recruited to complete to form a secondary oocyte and a much smaller first polar body, which ultimately disintegrates. E. The secondary oocyte proceeds to and then arrests until after ovulation.

Primary meiotic Secondary meiotic Meiosis in human females initiates during the development of the fetus. In the fetal ovaries, all of the diploid cells begin meiosis but cease development in prophase. Primary oocytes Menstrual cycle With puberty and the initiation of the menstrual cycle, the primary oocyte completes meiosis and finishes the first meiotic division as two cells, each of which is duplicated although the chromosomes are still duplicated. 2n zygote Secondary oocyte Duplicated Non-duplicated One of these cells, termed the secondary oocyte, receives almost all of the cytoplasm. The other is the first polar body, a non-functioning cell. Primary spermatocytes Disintegrates The polar body contains chromosomes but very little cytoplasm and may or may not divide again, and eventually it disintegrates. If the secondary oocyte is fertilized by sperm, it completes the division in which it again divides unequally, forming an egg and second polar body. Secondary ovary Haploid Matures 4n zygote The chromosomes of the egg and sperm nuclei then join to form the diploid zygote. If the secondary oocyte is not fertilized by sperm, it resets and passes out of the body with the menstrual flow. Diploid Circadian rhythm

Order the steps of oogenesis in human females. Not all events will be placed in the correct order. 1. During fetal development, primordial germ cells in the ovaries undergo mitosis to generate diploid oogonia. 2. Primary oocytes are arrested at prophase I until puberty. 3. At puberty, one primary oocyte is selected each month to continue development. 4. The selected primary oocyte completes meiosis I, generating a secondary oocyte and a haploid polar body. 5. The secondary oocyte is released into the fallopian tube at ovulation and arrests at metaphase II. 6. If fertilization occurs, the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm cell and completes meiosis II, generating a fertilized diploid egg and an additional haploid polar body. 7. If fertilization does not occur after ovulation, human females generate more oocytes from germ cells in the ovaries.
