Urogenital Flashcards
What happens in Meiosis I stage of spermatogenesis
Primary spermatocytes differentiate into secondary spermatocytes.
DNA replication and crossing over occurs
What happens in Meisis II stage of spermatogenesis
The secondary spermatocyte differentiates into the spermatid.
The cells change from diploid 2n to haploid n cells
What is spermiogenesis?
the maturation of spermatids into spermatozoa (sperm cell)
Describe the process of meiosis I in female reproductiove system
prophase I -crossing over between non sister chromatids
metaphase I -pairing of homologous chromosomes
anaphase I - separation of homologous chromosomes
telophase I - separation of the rest of the cell
Describe the different stages of Meiosis II in female reproductive system.
prophase II
metaphase II
anaphase II
telophase II
