Which of the following statements concerning oogenesis is false? About half the oogonia complete mitosis between birth and puberty. Ova develop from stem cells called oogonia. An ovum completes its last meiosis after it is fertilized. Oogenesis begins before birth. By the time of their birth, girls have already lost about 80 percent of their oocytes.

The surge in luteinizing hormone that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers menopause. ovulation. atresia. menstruation. follicle maturation

ovulation

Regarding the proliferative phase of the uterine cycle: the uterine glands are manufacturing a glycogen-rich mucus that can be metabolized by an early embryo. it is caused by constriction of the spiral arteries, which reduces endometrial blood flow. it begins at the time of ovulation and persists as long as the corpus luteum remains intact. restoration is inhibited by estrogens.
