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 LH and FSH.(e) It is initiated at puberty.Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A(c) and (e) only
- B(b) and (c) only
- C(b), (d) and (e) only
- D(b), (c) and (e) only
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Image comparing spermatogenesis and oogenesis and (d) are true for both.(b) is unique to spermatogenesis: Spermatids differentiate into sperms after meiosis. In oogenesis, differentiation happens alongside meiosis.(c) is unique to spermatogenesis: It's continuous. Oogenesis is a discontinued process (arrested at stages).(e) is unique to spermatogenesis: It starts at puberty. Oogenesis is initiated during embryonic development.Statements (b), (c), and (e) distinguish spermatogenesis from oogenesis.
