The NCAA has instituted strict guidelines for eligibility under medical exceptions for banned substances, including stimulants used to treat ADHD/ ADD, medications for male-pattern baldness, peptide hormones (hGH), and anabolic steroids (testosterone) or any other medications banned* by the NCAA.
Meiosis also differs from mitosis in that it involves a process known as recombination, during which chromosomes exchange segments with one another. As a result, the gametes produced during meiosis are genetically unique.
Oogenesis is the process of producing the female gametes, the Ovum, from the primordial germ cells. The majority of the steps in oogenesis, up to the point of producing primary oocytes, occur pre-natally. Therefore, females are born with all of the Primary Oocytes that they will ever have as primary oocytes do not divide further.
