Question

1.True or false? Gametogenesis is the same as meiosis?

Answer 1

1. False. They are similar, though.

meiosis- A kind of cell division involving having the chromosome number. It is responsible for genetic recombination.

Gametogenesis- It's the process when gametes or germ cells are produced in an organism. They undergo meiosis to form gametes.

2. Spermatogenesis- happens in the testes of males. 4 gametes are produced. Spermatogenesis involves a metamorphosis stage called spermiogenesis. Spermatogenesis produces small, motile spermatozoa

Oogenesis- takes place in the ovary in a female. 1 gamete produced. in oogenesis there is no metamorphosis stage. In oogenesis the ovum is spherical, and isn't motile and is bigger with more food reserves and cytoplasm.

3. Because The one egg cell that results from meiosis contains most of the cytoplasm, nutrients, and organelles.
