Oogenesis:

Oogenesis is the process of egg cell (ova) formation in females.

It begins during embryonic development, with oogonia differentiating into primary oocytes.

Primary oocytes remain arrested in prophase I until puberty.

Puberty triggers the selection of one primary oocyte each menstrual cycle for maturation.

The mature secondary oocyte is released during ovulation.

Fertilization leads to the formation of a mature ovum.

Oogenesis contributes to genetic diversity.

Hormones like FSH and LH regulate oogenesis.

Oogenesis has a finite supply, and menopause marks its end.
