How is the formation of gametes in males different to the formation of gametes in females?

Answer 1

Both gametes, sperm and egg, are formed by meiosis which is a type of sexual reproduction. Male gametes, sperm, is slightly smaller and has a tadpole shape to it and also is very mobile and produced by tons, but female gametes, egg, are larger, less mobile, and there are not so many eggs as sperm.

Answer 2

the formation of male and female gametes involves meiosis. In spermatogenesis meiosis produce 4 sperm cells. In oogenesis, cytoplasm divides unequally & meiosis produce 3 polar bodies that do not survive and one egg cell.

Answer 3

the beginning of the two processes is similar, a germinal epithelial cell (spermatogonium-2n- or oogonium-2n) undergoes repeated cell divisions, then the resulting spermatogonia and oogonia undergo growth to form primary spermatocyte (2n) and primary oocyte (2n). that is where the similarity ends.

after that the primary oocyte undergoes meiosis I to form a secondary oocyte(n) and a first polar body is attached to it (n), the secondary oocyte contains most of the cytoplasm of the 2 cells . then it undergoes meiosis II to form an egg with a haploid number of chromosomes and 2 polar bodies attached to it, also haploid. one primary oocyte forms one egg.

the primary spermatocye would undergo meiosis I to form 2 secondary spermatocytes(n)

these 2 cells would undergo meiosis II to form 2 spermatids (n) each. spermatids then differentiate into sperms. each primary spermatocyte forms 4 sperms.

Answer 4

Male gamete formation produces 4 gametes that become 4 sperm.

Female gamete formation produces 1 gamete that becomes an ova. The 3 remaining cells lose all their cytoplasm to the single ovum and become polar bodies. Depending on the species the polar bodies can play a role in fertilization/pregnancy and in others they die.

Answer 5

In males, all four daughter cells produced by meiosis will become sperm cells. In females, only one of the four daughter cells produced by meiosis will become an ovum. The ovum gets most of the cytoplasm and the other three smaller cells are called polar bodies and will be reabsorbed.

Answer 6

Female gametes form to the right of the wall of chromosomes, where as the gametes in males form to the left and in the middle of the wall.

Answer 7

female gametes form to the right of the wall of chromosomes, whereas the gametes in males, form to the left and in the middle of the wall. they are similar in the sperm, but unalike in egg

Answer 8

Gamete formation in females is known as oogenesis and spermatogenesis in males. They both occur by meiosis.
