In males, meiosis occurs in precursor cells known as spermatogonia that divide twice to become sperm.

What specialized cell are produced in male and female reproductive system?

sperm or an egg. Each contain 1/2 the total DNA of a normal cell. The sperm and egg combine to put these two halves together and create a new DNA combination that is unique to the individual (unless they have an identical sibling/s)

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'.


Are ther facts about the reproductive system?

1. 500 million sperm are produced and matured each day by a healthy average male 2. after a sperm has penetrated an egg the outer shell of the ovum makes it impossible for any other sperm to penetrate it. 3. the ovum is larger than sperm 4. the life span of a sperm on average is 36 hours 5. the average life span of an ovum is 12 to 24 hours


How do testicles make sperm?

there r two types of cell in the germinal epithelium of a testicle 1.sartoli cell 2.spermatogenic cell this sartoli cell provide nutrition to the growing sperms the spermatogenic cells are the main sperm producers.the process is here - spermatogonia .. primary spermatocyte ... secondary spermatocyte ... spermatid ... sperm this is the main process.further the process go , more the cell shape is changed .the changes occur- 1.nucleus becomes bigger 2.golgi bodies degenerates but acrosome remains on the top of the head of a sperm 3.mitochondria are arranged behind the nucleus 4.the centrioles are arranged behind the mitochondria and form flagella thus a sperm is produced
