(N/A) Gametogenesis is the biological process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes.
In animals,there are two types of cells: somatic cells and germ cells.
- Somatic cells form the various organs of the body and divide by mitosis to maintain the diploid number.
- Germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes.
Male gametes are known as spermatozoa,and the process of their formation is called spermatogenesis.
Female gametes are known as ova (or eggs),and the process of their formation is called oogenesis.
