Gametogenesis
formation of sex cells or reproductive
Male gonad called
TESTIS
Female gonad called
OVARY
Primordial
germ
cell
common origins of spermatozoa and oocytes—responsible for production of gametes
Spermatogenesis
formation of sperm cells located in seminiferous tubules of male gonad
Seminiferous
tubules
site of germination, maturation, and transportation of sperm cells within male testes
Primordial
germ
cell
produce cell and become sperm mother cell or spermatogonia
Spermatogonia
most immature sperm cell from primordial germ cell
Mitosis through growth phase the spermatogonia converted into primary spermatocyte
Meiosis
1
results in formation of secondary spermatocyte
Meiosis
2
it form spermatids
Spermatids
is a haploid cell
Spermatids
haploid nature and by process of spermiogenesis they get differentiated called SPERMATOZOA
Spermiogenesis
transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa
Spermatozoa
male mature cell
How many spermatozoa produced at the end
4
haploid cell
Oogenesis
formation of ovum located in female gonad
Ooginium
immature female germ cell
Mitosis
ooginium converted into primary oocyte
Meiosis 1
formation of secondary oocyte and first polar body
Polar body
small haploid cell formed concamitantly as an egg cell, but does not have ability to be fertilized.
Meiosis
2 result in formation of ootid contain haploid cell and formation of second polarbody from primary polar body
Ootid
converted into OVUM
Ovum
mature egg cell of female
