Q

Gametogenesis is characterized into 4 stages:

A
  1. The extraembryonic origin of the germ cells and their migration into the gonads,
  2. An increase in the number of germ cells by mitosis, (Mitosis ensures a large reservoir for future gametes)
  3. A reduction in chromosomal number by
    meiosis, and
  4. Structural and functional maturation of
    the eggs and spermatozoa.

Q

Name a couple of differences between oocytes and spermatocytes

A
    • 1 primary oocyte gives rise to 4 daughter cells (each 22 plus one X chromosome) bas only one matures while the other 3 polar bodies degenerate,
    • however in males all of them mature (two are 22 chromosomes plus 1 X, w il other two are 22 plus one Y)
  2. Oogonia undergo programmed degeneration called atresia until menopause while spermatogonia maintain the ability to divide until death

Q

Explain what happens to the oocytes before the girl hits puberty

A
  1. At birth all primary oocytes have started PROPHASE of meiosis 1, but do not enter metaphase, they’re arrested at diplotene stage (a part of prophase) until puberty
  2. Most oocytes become atretic during childhood- only 40,000 are present by puberty and less than 500 will be ovulated
