| Comments |
"The oocyte
is a unique cell, one of the largest in the body, which also houses
most of the components to support the early stages of development
of an entirely new organism. It is also a rare cell in mammalian
systems for example, in mice, only 8–12 oocytes are released
during
a natural ovulation
