Answer;
This is because greenhouse gases prevent heat which is received from the sun from being radiated out into space.

Explanation;
Green house gases are gases that are emitted into the environment that are capable of absorbing infrared radiation, and thus trapping and holding heat in the atmosphere. The increase of heat in the atmosphere contributes to higher temperatures and causes the greenhouse effect, which results to global warming. Examples of these gases include, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFCs among others.

Greenhouse gases are the gases in the atmosphere that keep the air in the atmosphere. It traps the sun's sunlight. Since the heat is trapped in here, it would contribute to higher temperatures.

Compare the processes of oogenesis and spermatogenesis in humans.

Kipish [7]

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are both forms of gametogenesis, in which a diploid gamete cell, sperm, and eggs respectively produces haploid cells through meiosis.

Oogenesis takes place in the outermost layers of ovaries, it starts with a germ cell called oogonium, this cell will go under mitosis to increase in number, it will finish this division in a developing follicle with a secondary oocyte that will complete the meiosis if fertilized.
In spermatogenesis meiosis begins with a primary spermatocyte, after this meiotic division a haploid cell is produced, this will be the secondary spermatocyte, this will result in four sperm from each spermatocyte that goes through meiosis, they are in an inactive state until gonadotropic hormones activate them during adolescence.

I hope you find this information useful! good luck!
