QUESTION

Developmental stage of oocyte on the ovary of newborn calf is?

OPTIONS

(A) Gonocyte
(B) Oogonium
(C) Primary oocytes
(D) Secondary oocyte

ANSWER

(C) Primary oocytes

EXPLANATION

At birth, the oocytes present in the ovary of a newborn calf are primary oocytes that have entered meiosis and are arrested in prophase I. Oogonia are the earlier germ-cell stage before meiotic entry, secondary oocytes arise only after completion of meiosis I, and gonocyte is an earlier embryonic germ-cell designation.
