AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gametogenesis differs between the sexes. In the male, the production of mature sperm cells, or spermatogenesis, results in four haploid gametes, whereas, in the female, the production of a mature egg cell, oogenesis, results in just one mature gamete.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gametogenesis, the production of sperm and eggs, includes the process of meiosis to produce haploid cells, and growth and maturation of these cells into oocytes and sperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gametogenesis occurs when a haploid cell (n) is formed from a diploid cell (2n) through meiosis. We call gametogenesis in the male spermatogenesis and it produces spermatozoa. In the female, we call it oogenesis. It results in the formation of ova.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gametogenesis is the process of division of diploid cells to produce new haploid cells. In humans, two different types of gametes are present. Male gametes are called sperm and female gametes are called the ovum.

Detailed explanation-5: -Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg).
