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.
Yes, both oogenesis (egg production) and spermatogenesis (sperm production) utilize meiosis to produce haploid gametes, or gametes with half the normal amount of genetic material.
That would be called pregenant in most languages.
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.

In humans, the reproductive system is responsible for the production of sex cells (gametes). In the male, the sex cells are produced in the testes located in the scrotum. The process of sperm formation is called spermatogenesis. In the female, the sex cells are produced in the ovaries. The process of egg formation is called oogenesis.
Gametogenesis is defined as the production of gametes, or sex cells. The two examples would be spermatogenesis (production of sperm in males) and oogenesis (production of eggs in females.)

the formation of sex cells GAMETES: sperm or egg cells Gamete formation: gametogenesis Sperm formation: spermatogenesis Egg formation: oogenesis
The term for the production of gametes by means of meiosis is gametogenesis. Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half, making possible the combination of two gametes to form a new individual.
It is still called meiosis, except that instead of an egg you end up with a sperm cell.

spermatogenesis
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.
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.
