    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oocyte

    It was proposed that, in order to avoid damage to the DNA genome of the oocytes, the metabolism contributing to the synthesis of much of the oocyte's constituents was shifted to other maternal cells that then transferred these constituents to oocytes. [7] [8] Thus, oocytes of many organisms are protected from oxidative DNA damage while storing ...

    Scheme showing analogies in the process of maturation of the ovum and the development of the spermatids. A gametocyte is a eukaryotic germ cell that divides by mitosis into other gametocytes or by meiosis into gametids during gametogenesis.

  8. Oogonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogonium

    Most oogonia have either degenerated or differentiated into primary oocytes by birth. [3] [5] Primary oocytes will undergo oogenesis in which they enter meiosis. However, primary oocytes are arrested in prophase 1 of the first meiosis and remain in that arrested stage until puberty begins in the female adult. [6]

  9. Egg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cell

    Studies performed on humans, dogs, and cats in the 1870s suggested that the production of oocytes (immature egg cells) stops at or shortly after birth. A review of reports from 1900 to 1950 by zoologist Solomon Zuckerman cemented the belief that females have a finite number of oocytes that are formed before they are born. This dogma has been ...
