Ova (eggs) are produced in the ovary. They are formed from reproductive cells called primordial germ cells in a process called oogenesis.
The sperm are produced through spermatogenesis in the males gonads.

PLANT EGGS and sperm unlike animals are produced by which process?
mitosis
Why cant mitosis create egg and sperm cells?
Because mitosis creates duplicates of cells with complete copies of the chromosomes in each cell made. For eggs and sperm cells the cell division process has to end up with the eggs and sperm having just 1/2 of the chromosome numbers in each cell made. Eggs and sperm are therefore produced by 'meiosis' and not 'mitosis'.
What are two example of sex cells and how are they formed?
Sperm and Egg cells are formed by Meiosis.
What sperm is formed during mitosis?
Sperm is not formed during mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) and produces two genetically identical daughter cells. Sperm formation, known as spermatogenesis, involves meiotic division, which produces four genetically different haploid cells called spermatids that later mature into sperm cells.
Where are eggs formed?
in the woman's ovaries
In what stages of the reproductive process does meiosis occur?
in the production of eggs and of sperm the mitosis stage before the chromosomes are copied
Where are eggs produced in woman?
Eggs are produced in the ovaries, then when they are formed they travel through the filopian tubes and met with a sperm.
Does mitosis happen before or after the zygote is formed?
The zygote results from the combination of gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. The zygote undergoes mitosis after this, so that it can divide and grow into an organism.
Use the following terms to create a concept map meiosis eggs cell division X chromosomes mitosis Y chromosomes sperm and sex cells?
Sperm enters the egg; egg turns because the 2 cells egg and sperm use mitosis to make more cells.
Which cell divides once in mitosis?
Mitosis
What type of cells does mitosis occur in humans?
All body cells except for those that form eggs or sperm.
A process in which cells can copy themselves?
Mitosis for normal cells, meiosis to make gametes (eggs, sperm, pollen)
