Question

Oogenesis is a discontinuous process that begins before birth and is completed after puberty.
Trace the development of a gamete mother cell till its release from the ovary during ovulation.
Name the two pituitary hormones that play an important role in the process.

Hint:

Remember that the egg released during ovulation is not a fully mature ovum. It is actually a secondary oocyte arrested in metaphase II. It will only complete its second meiotic division if a sperm successfully penetrates its outer membranes.
