The Outcome of Oogenesis is One Large Egg Containing 23

Question

The outcome of oogenesis is one large egg containing 23 chromosomes and three polar bodies.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Oogenesis is the process of producing mature ova (eggs) in females. Each mature egg contains 23 chromosomes and is large in size compared to the small polar bodies, which contain only a small amount of cytoplasm and eventually disintegrate. The polar bodies are formed during meiosis, which is the process of cell division that produces the egg.
