Gametogenesis Ppt Flashcards
• Process of creating gametes
Gametogenesis
Germ cells are set aside early in development
Migrate to the____
Undergo____ divisions to make haploid germ cells
gonad
meiotic
Process of producing sperm
Occurs in______ of the testes
Spermatogenesis
seminiferous tubules
• Process of producing oocytes
• Occurs in the____
Oogenesis
ovaries
___________ are the germ cells that will eventually develop into the mature sperm;
the first step in this development is the duplication of _______ to get ready for meiosis
Spermatogonia
homologous chromosomes
:the first meiotic division separates the homologous chromosomes from each parent
Primary spermatocyte
______: the second meiotic division separates the 2 chromatids and creates_____
Secondary spermatocyte
4 haploid cells
_____: Will produce 4 sperm cells by the process of______.
Spermatids
spermiogenesis
differentiate into the shape we commonly know
Sperm cells
produces sperm cells.
Meiosis
Diploid cells divide through mitosis in the linings of the____
Some of the daughter cells then undergo meiosis, producing_____ which differentiate into mature sperm cells.
seminiferous tubules
haploid spermatocytes
Sperm formation
spermatogenesis
have the normal diploid number of 23 chromosome pairs.
