Where does meiosis II occur in females?


Open in App
Solution

Meiosis II in females:

  1. Meiosis II occurs immediately after the sperm enters the secondary oocyte.
  2. The oocyte is blocked in the metaphase of meiosis II after ovulation prior to fertilization.
  3. Meiosis is a process that takes place in the ovaries of females during the development of mature gametes or eggs.
  4. Meiosis II completes only if fertilization occurs.
  5. After puberty, males undergo meiosis in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles during spermatogenesis.
  6. In females, the process of meiosis is called oogenesis, since it produces oocytes and soon or later yields mature ova (eggs). Spermatogenesis in males is the production of sperm.
