The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Oogamy**: Oogamous fertilization is a type of sexual reproduction. In this process, two types of gametes are involved: male and female gametes. 2. **Characteristics of Gametes**: - The **male gamete** is typically smaller and motile, which means it can move. In humans, this is represented by sperm cells. - The **female gamete** is larger and non-motile, meaning it does not move on its own. In humans, this is represented by the ovum (egg). 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - We need to find the option that accurately describes the characteristics of the male and female gametes in oogamous fertilization. - The correct description should state that the female gamete is large and non-motile, while the male gamete is small and motile. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - Option 1: A small non-motile female gamete and a large motile male gamete (Incorrect) - Option 2: A large non-motile female gamete and a smaller motile male gamete (Correct) - Option 3: A large non-motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete (Incorrect) - Option 4: A large motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete (Incorrect) 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is Option 2: A large non-motile female gamete and a smaller motile male gamete. ---
