Which of the following statements are true for spermatogenesis but do not hold true for oogenesis? (a) It results in the formation of haploid gametes (b) Differentiation of gamete occurs after the completion of meiosis (c) Meiosis occurs continuously in a mitotically dividing stem cell population (d) It is controlled by the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary (e) It is initiated at puberty Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to identify which statements are true for spermatogenesis but not for oogenesis. Let's analyze each statement:(a) It results in the formation of haploid gametes: - Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis result in haploid gametes, so this statement is true for both processes.(b) Differentiation of gamete occurs after the completion of meiosis: - In spermatogenesis, spermatids differentiate into spermatozoa after meiosis is complete. - In oogenesis, the primary oocyte completes meiosis I to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body, and meiosis II is completed only if fertilization occurs.
