The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of how many ova and sperms can be produced from one million oocytes and one million secondary spermatocytes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Oogenesis**: - In oogenesis, each primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to produce one secondary oocyte and one polar body during meiosis I. - The secondary oocyte then undergoes meiosis II to produce one ovum and another polar body. - Therefore, from one primary oocyte, only one ovum is produced. 2. **Calculating Ova from Oocytes**: - Given that there are 1 million oocytes, and each oocyte produces one ovum: \[ \text{Number of Ova} = 1 \text{ million oocytes} \times 1 = 1 \text{ million ova} \] 3. **Understanding Spermatogenesis**: - In spermatogenesis, each primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I to produce two secondary spermatocytes. - Each secondary spermatocyte then undergoes meiosis II to produce two spermatids, which mature into sperms. - Therefore, from one secondary spermatocyte, two sperms are produced. 4. **Calculating Sperms from Secondary Spermatocytes**: - Given that there are 1 million secondary spermatocytes, and each secondary spermatocyte produces two sperms: \[ \text{Number of Sperms} = 1 \text{ million secondary spermatocytes} \times 2 = 2 \text{ million sperms} \] 5. **Final Result**: - From the calculations: - Ova produced: 1 million - Sperms produced: 2 million - Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \text{1 million ova and 2 million sperms} \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **1 million ova and 2 million sperms**. ---
