Answer

Correct option: A.
Oogonia
a
Female gamete mother cells are called oogonia. Oogenesis is the process of formation of mature ovum. It has three phases $(a)$ Multiplication Phase Oogenesis takes place in embryo stage. A couple of million of gamete mother cells (oogonia) are formed within each foetal ovary. No more oogonia are formed after birth. These cells (oogonia) get into prophase-I of meiotic division. They get temporarily arrested as this stage called primary oocyte $(b)$ Growth Phase Each primary oocyte then gets surrounded by a layer of granulosa cells. This structure is called the primary follicle. A large number of these follicles degenerate during the phase from birth to puberty. At puberty, only $60000$ and $80000$ primary follicles are left in each ovary. The primary follicles get surrounded by more layers of granulosa cells and a new theca to form secondary follicles $(c)$ Maturation Phase In the first maturation phase, the secondary follicle soon transforms into a tertiary follicle. The primary oocyte within the tertiary follicle grows in size and completes its first meiotic division to form a large haploid secondary oocyte and a tiny first polar body. The tertiary follicle changes into a mature follicle-the Graafian follicle which ruptures to release the secondary oocyte (ovum) from the ovary by a process called ovulation. The second maturation phase occurs after fertilization when the meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is complete. This second meiotic division results in the formation of a second polar body and a haploid ovum (ootid)
