Question

When and where are primary oocytes formed in a human female? trace the development of these oocytes till ovulation (in menstrual cycle). how do gonadotropins influence this developmental process?

Answer 1

An oocyte is produced in the ovary during female gametogenesis. The female germ cells produce a primordial germ cell (PGC), which then undergoes mitosis, forming oogonia. During oogenesis, the oogonia become primary oocytes. An oocyte is a form of genetic material that can be collected for cryoconservation
