Gametogensis Flashcards
Gametogensis
Process by which diploid germs cell give rise to haploid gametes
Germ cell
Produced in early stages of embryogenesis and migrate from primitive streak to the gonads where meiosis is being undergo
In meiosis
Jump cell undergo two rounds of cell division, meiosis one in meiosis two
Meiosis one
Homologous pairs of chromosomes exchange portions of their DNA before being separated in distributed to daughter cells independently
Meiosis two
Result in four haploid cells in give rise to mature gametes that fuse during fertilization restoring the diploid number
Sperm cell
Smallest cell in human nearly 0.05 mm in length
Three distinct sections - the head mid piece and tail
Acrosome
Goji derived structure that is packed with enzyme that assist in penetration of the Zone pellucida and goes to fertilization
Flagelllum
ATP produced by mitochondria powers, the slotting motion of the microtubules within the tail
Axoneme
Base core of the flagellum and consist of nine doubles of Margot tubules arranged around a central pair
