I. Oogenesis: Formation of the female gametes (eggs or ova) Between birth and puberty A female is born with a set number of eggs and ovarian follicles - usually anywhere from 1 to 2 million- and the total declines over time. At and after puberty - approximately 25% or 300,000 follicles are present. Oogonia (oogonium- singular) are the diploid stem cells that produce oocytes. Oogonia each contains 46 chromosomes. In the female fetus, the oogonia divide by mitosis. Each oogonium then enlarges to form a primary oocyte. The primary oocyte is surrounded by a follicle, which becomes rich with nutrients. Primary oocytes then remain dormant in the ovaries until puberty begins. 2n Oogonium Mitosis Primary oocyte 2n Before birth (arrests in prophase I) After puberty Polar body in 10 In Meiosis continues Secondary oocyte (arrests in metaphase II) Ovulation, sperm entry Meiosis, fertilization Polar body in 2n Fertilized Egg A Membrane fusion Penetration of the corona radiata B Zona pellucida Corona radiata Penetration of the zona pellucida Acrosome reaction Zona pellucida Fusion of nuclei C D
