Question

How do spermatogenesis and oogenesis differ in terms of the number of gametes they produce? Spermatogenesis produces four functioning gametes, and oogenesis produces one large gamete with three polar bodies. Spermatogenesis produces one large gamete with three polar bodies, and oogenesis produces four functioning gametes. Spermatogenesis produces two functioning gametes with two polar bodies, and oogenesis produces four large gametes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Spermatogenesis produces four functioning gametes, and oogenesis produces one large gamete with three polar bodies.

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis

You start with a diploid cell, the first spermatocyte, and start meiosis I ending with two haploid cells.

The meiosis II starts, those haploids cells divide again, and with one diploid starting cell you end up with four spermatids. With the differentiation process, those transform into sperm.

Oogenesis

Meiosis I start with primary oocyte and expel the first polar body.

When the meiosis II end you have three polar bodies and one big ovule.

Answer 2

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis differ in terms of the number of gamates they produce because spermatogenesis produces four functioning gametes, and oogenesis produces one large gamete with three polar bodies.
