Explain how an oogonium becomes a tertiary follicle/ovum :



Answer: Oogonia enters meiosis I, but stops during prophase after they have replicated their genomes but before division (they are called primary oocytes at this stage) > resumes at the start of girls first menstruation cycle, finishes meiosis I (they are secondary oocytes/follicles) > this still has two copies of each chromosome, so it must divide again, undergoes meiosis II and becomes a tertiary oocyte> prepares for ovulation
