Yes, mitosis does occur in the ovaries and testes. In the ovaries, mitosis is involved in the production of ova (eggs) through the development of ovarian follicles. In the testes, mitosis plays a role in the production of sperm through the process of spermatogenesis.
The formation of the female sex cell or egg occurs in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. Oogenesis involves the maturation of primordial germ cells in the ovary into mature eggs or ova.
In lilies, meiosis occurs in the formation of their reproductive structures, such as the anthers and ovaries of the flowers. This process leads to the production of haploid pollen grains in the anthers and haploid ovules in the ovaries, which are essential for sexual reproduction in lilies.
The ovaries produce eggs (ova) and secrete estrogen and progesterone to regulate the menstrual cycle and support pregnancy. These functions are not performed by the testes.
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive organs, specifically the testes in males (sperm production) and the ovaries in females (egg production).
