Long Exam # 1 - Gametogenesis Flashcards
(7 cards)
This process is also called Reduction Division and when crossing over usually happens
Meiosis
This process is the production of gametes (sperm & egg) at the end of meiosis II
Gametogenesis
When does the production of gametes occur?
The end of Meiosis II
What are the 3 phases of Gametogenesis?
Multiplication, Growth and Maturation (Sperm and Ovaries)
This phase of Gametogenesis is where primordial germ cells multiply by mitosis and the production of oogonia and spermatogonia in females and males occur
Multiplication Phase
This phase is where primary oocytes and spermatocytes grow
Growth phase
This phase is where secondary spermatocytes and oocytes mature to spermatids and ovums (+ polar bodies)
Maturation/Differentiation of sperm/ovaries
