Summarize the major characteristics of spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
Meiosis, the process by which gametes are formed, can also be called gametogenesis, literally "creation of gametes." The specific type of meiosis that forms sperm is called spermatogenesis, while the formation of egg cells, or ova, is called oogenesis. The most important thing you need to remember about both processes is that they occur through meiosis, but there are a few specific distinctions between them.SpermatogenesisThe male testes have tiny tubules containing diploid cells called spermatogonium that mature to become sperm. The basic function of spermatogenesis is to turn each one of the diploid spermatogonium into four haploid sperm cells. This quadrupling is accomplished through the meiotic cell division detailed in the last section. During interphase before meiosis I, the spermatogonium's 46 single chromosomes are replicated to form 46 pairs of sister chromatids, which then exchange genetic material through synapsis before the first meiotic division. In meiosis II, the two daughter cells go through a second division to yield four cells containing a unique set of 23 single chromosomes that ultimately mature into four sperm cells. Starting at puberty, a male will produce literally millions of sperm every single day for the rest of his life.OogenesisJust like spermatogenesis, oogenesis involves the formation of haploid cells from an original diploid cell, called a primary oocyte, through meiosis. The female ovaries contain the primary oocytes. There are two major differences between the male and female production of gametes. First of all, oogenesis only leads to the production of one final ovum, or egg cell, from each primary oocyte (in contrast to the four sperm that are generated from every spermatogonium). Of the four daughter cells that are produced when the primary oocyte divides meiotically, three come out much smaller than the fourth. These smaller cells, called polar bodies, eventually disintegrate, leaving only the larger ovum as the final product of oogenesis. The production of one egg cell via oogenesis normally occurs only once a month, from puberty to menopause.
The formation of the male sex cells or sperm is called a what?
The formation of male gametes or sperm cells is called spermatogenesis. This is a form a meiosis, in which four daughter cells are formed. The process takes places in the male reproductive organs, the testes. The female counterpart to this is called oogenesis, which produces one usable daughter cells, an oocyte or egg cell, (and three discarded cells called polar bodies) this process occurs in the ovaries.
Name the 4 cells produced by oogenesis?
oogenesis does not produces 4 cells it only produces 1 viable gamete in a 1 month cycle;One large, immotile oocyte (diameter 120 mm) and three shriveled polar bodies are left at the end of the meiosis. It is spermatogenesis that produces 4 viable gamete; Four functioning, small (head 4 mm), motile spermatozoids at the end of the meiosis.
What is the benefit of uneven production of gametes in oogensis?
Oogenesis (misspelled as oogenesis) is the creation of an egg cell. The benefit of uneven production of gametes in oogenesis is one haploid cell gets the majority of the nutrients.
What the difference between prophase one and prophase two?
cheese is the difference between this question.
The final product of oogenesis is one?
The cellular product of spermatogenesis is four spermatids. The final product of oogenesis is one ovum and three polar bodies.
How do oogenesis and spermantogenesis differ?
In oogenesis after the first meiotic division one egg and one tiny cell are created. In Meiosis II the egg and three small cells are created. The three small cells are thrown away and the egg undergoes fertilization. In spermatogenesis after meiosis II four working sperms are ready to be used. There is only one usable cell created in oogenesis while in spermatogenesis four cells are created. the end result of oogenesis is only one viable cell while in sprematogenesis there are four.
How are oogenesis and spermatogenesis similar?
Oogenesis is the formation of the ovum, and spermatogenesis is the formation of the sperm. These two processes are similar as they are both formed by meiosis, (reduction division). Meiosis is the process of cell division where one mother cell will create four daughter cells with half the amount of genetic information. Or in other words, oogenesis and spermatogenesis are creating gametes.
How many cells does spermatogenesis and oogenesis produce in humans how many chromosomes are in each?
spermatogenesis produces 4 sperm cells and oogenisis produces one ovum. Both have 23 chromosomes each
What is the difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
Spermatogenesis takes place in the testes of males, oogenesis takes place in the ovary of the females.Spermatogenesis produces small, motile spermatozoa whereas in oogenesis the ovum is spherical, not motile and is much larger with more food reserves and cytoplasm.Spermatogenesis involves a metamorphosis stage called spermiogenesis, in oogenesis there is no metamorphosis stage.In spermatogenesis, 4 gametes are produced from each meiotic division, whereas in oogenesis there is only 1 gamete produced from each division as the unequal cytokinesis leads to the formation of polar bodies.Spermatogenesis occurs in males (human males) continuously from puberty to death whereas oogenesis starts in females in the fetal period. It takes 70 days for sperm to be produced in males.In oogenesis, the development of the oocyte is arrested at prophase I of meiosis until puberty, and then stops at metaphase II of meiosis until fertilization, where the meiotic division is finally completed. In males meiosis occurs continuouslyThe hormones in the 2 processes have different effects - in oogenesis, FSH is responsible for the choice of the primary oocyte and causes the cells of the membrana granulosa to proliferate to form the theca interna which secretes oestrogen, and the theca externa. LH in females stimulates ovulation and the maturation of the Graafian follicle. In males, on the other hand, FSH increases the activity of the Sertoli cells which are involved in spermiogenesis (the metamorphosis stage of spermatogenesis). LH in males stimulates the Leydig cells to secrete testosterone.

The final product in oogenesis is one egg and three polar bodies.
Why spermatogenesis and oogenesis produces different numbers of gametes?
Spermatogenisis produces four gametes while oogenesis produces only one. Oogenesis produces one egg and three polar bodies (that immediately die off). Spermatogenisis produces four sperm that are al equally complex. The egg is the major part of the potential fertilized cell and it takes a lot of energy to make (think about it, all it needs to start dividing is a few extra chromosomes) and therefore most of the process's energy goes to the egg.
