Question

How many ova and sperms would be produced from 100 secondary oocytes and 100 secondary spermatocytes during gametogenesis in humans? (A) 200 ova, 200 sperms (B) 50 ova, 100 sperms (C) 100 ova, 200 sperms (D) 100 ova, 100 sperms

In the process of spermatogenesis single secondary spermatocyte produces two sperms thus 100 secondary spermatocytes will produce 200 sperms. In the process of oogenesis single secondary oocyte produces one ova and one polar body. Thus, 100 will produce 100 ovum.
