When do the oogonia undergo mitosis?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the timing of mitosis in oogonia, which are the female germ cells in the ovaries that develop into oocytes. Specifically, it seeks to understand during which stage or developmental phase oogonia undergo cell division.
Answer
9th to 22nd week of embryonic development
Oogonia undergo mitosis during the 9th to 22nd week of embryonic development.
Answer for screen readers
Oogonia undergo mitosis during the 9th to 22nd week of embryonic development.
More Information
This period of mitotic proliferation is crucial for establishing the initial pool of germ cells in a female fetus.
Tips
A common confusion is mixing up the timing of mitosis and meiosis during oogenesis. Mitosis happens earlier (up to 22 weeks), setting the stage for subsequent meiotic divisions.
