2. Which of the following is FALSE about oogenesis?
a. Oogenesis begins during fetal development.
b. Oogenesis produces haploid cell unidentical to the parent cell.
c. Puberty in the female triggers primary oocytes to continue their development.
d. Oogenesis produces one primary oocyte, two secondary oocytes and four ova from one oogonium
3. Which of the following features of meiosis ensures that the number of chromosomes in an organism stays constant generation after generation?
a. Meiosis results in the production of haploid daughter cells.
b. Each daughter cell in meiosis receives a copy of each kind of chromosome.
