Question

Where does meiosis occur in females?

Answer 1

Meiosis in females:

1. After the development of four daughter cells, the number of chromosomes is halved.
2. Only when female gametes are being formed, or during gametogenesis, is meiosis visible.
3. Meiosis only occurs during ovum production since the ovum is a female gamete.
4. Oogenesis is the name given to female gametogenesis.
5. Primary oocytes undergo gametogenesis, or meiosis division, in order to develop into an ovary or a female gamete.
6. In females, the ovary is where the gametogenesis process takes place.
7. Meiosis occurs in the ovary during gametogenesis in females.
