Given below are two statements regarding oogenesis:- Statement I: The primary follicles get surrounded by more layers of granulosa cells, a theca and shows fluid filled cavity antrum. Now it is called secondary follicle. Statement II: Graffian follicle ruptures to release the secondary oocyte from the ovary by the process called ovulation. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.
B
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
C
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Detailed Solution
The follicle stage described (with granulosa cells, theca, and a fluid-filled antrum) is actually termed the tertiary follicle in standard terminology, not the secondary follicle — so Statement I is incorrect. Statement II correctly describes ovulation as the rupture of the Graafian follicle to release the secondary oocyte.
