    Gametogenesis

    Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes (eggs or sperm) are produced. A normal cell has 46 chromosomes, while a gamete has 23 chromosomes due to meiosis. Spermatogenesis in males involves three stages - growth, meiosis, and maturation - occurring in the testicles. Oogenesis in females involves the production of eggs with 23 chromosomes in the uterus in a cyclic process. Both eggs and sperm are haploid cells that fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.

    Meiosis

    Meiosis
    Special cell
    division

    Spermatogenesis
    Three stages:
    Growth initial cells form and grow
    Meiosis number of chromosomes is
    halved
    Maturation

    Happens in the seminiferous tubules


    of testicles

    Maturation
    Sperm cells
    They grow longer
    Their volume is reduced
    The front of the sperm (head)
    develops a nucelus and an
    acrosome
    Sperm forms tail (flagellum) that
    helps it move

    Maturation
    Sperm cells have a head, tail, and
    midpiece
    Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is
    produced by the pituitary gland and
    causes formation/maturation of
    sperm
    Entire process takes 2 months,
    starting at puberty and continues
    whole life

    Why are sperm interesting?


    They determine the sex of the child.
