Question

Compare the processes of oogenesis and spermatogenesis in humans.

Answer 1

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!

I added images for both processes!
