Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of a diploid gamete producing haploid sperm and egg cells is
A
gametogenesis
B
photosynthesis
C
anaerobic respiration
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are both forms of gametogenesis, in which a diploid gamete cell produces haploid sperm and egg cells, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is where a diploid cell gives rise to haploid cells, and fertilization is where two haploid cells (gametes) fuse to form a diploid zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -The development of diploid cells into gametes is called gametogenesis. It differs between males and females. A gamete produced by a male is called a sperm, and the process that produces a mature sperm is called spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gametogenesis is the production of gametes from haploid precursor cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gametogenesis is a biological process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes. Depending on the biological life cycle of the organism, gametogenesis occurs by meiotic division of diploid gametocytes into various gametes, or by mitosis.
