  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together

Oocytes complete meiosis II before they are fertilized.

back 48

False-females are born with primary oocytes that are stalled in prophase I until puberty. At the onset of puberty the overies begin oogenesis. During oogenesis 3 polar bodies and one functional gamate are produced. Oogenesis is achieved through meiosis.
