Question

Match each statement/descriptor in the left-hand column to the appropriate gamete production process in the right-hand column.

oogenesis

spermatogenesis

both oogenesis and spermatogenesis

4. neither oogenesis or spermatogenesi

Question 4 options:

process begins in the womb, prior to birth

process proceeds until death

cells are considered 'committed' to the maturation process once they initiate a meiotic, rather than a mitotic type cell division

process begins in infancy

once a cell 'commits' to the process, the process initially proceeds. but temporarily halts and resumes at two different times during the developmental process before finishing completely

process produces a single functional gamete for each precursor cell that 'commits' to the process

1234

once a cell 'commits' to the process, the process proceeds to completion without interruption

once a cell 'commits' to the process, the process initially proceeds, then is interrupted and temporarily halts, then resumes and completes without further interruption

process proceeds, on average, into the early 5th decade of life, and then ceases

process produces 4 functional gametes for each precursor cell that 'commits' to the process

1.

oogenesis

2.

spermatogenesis

3.
