During a class on genetics for pregnant families, the nurse is discussing the how the egg and sperm are formed before fertilization takes place.

  2. Gametogenesis
  3. Meiosis
  4. Spermatogenesis

Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. Gametogenesis is the process by which ovum and sperm are produced.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: This is true. The second meiotic division is arrested unless fertilization takes place.
Rationale 2: Meiosis begins before the baby is born, but stops before the first division is complete, and remains in this arrested phase until puberty.
Rationale 3: The first meiotic division stops before the first division is complete, and remains in this arrested phase until puberty.
Rationale 4: The secondary oocyte is where fertilization will take place.
