Oogenesis is the creation of an ovum (egg cell). It is the female process of gametogenesis. Spermatogenesis is the process in which a male sperm develops into a mature spermatozoa. The main the difference is one is male and one is female. The information was retrieved from these links and I suggest going to them for a more detailed description of the two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogenesis and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogenesis
Gametogenesis is the production of sex cells. Oogenesis, a type of gametogenesis, is the production of egg cells.
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.)
It is called spermatogenesis and for females it is called oogenesis.
When trying to remember stages of Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis it is helpful to make up a song to a familiar tune about the different steps. You can also use an acrostic to help memorize the information.
Gametogenesis occurs in the gonads. Spermatogenesis happens in the testes, and oogenesis in the ovaries.
Because the birds and the bees is a fairy tale.
The cellular product of spermatogenesis is four spermatids. The final product of oogenesis is one ovum and three polar bodies.
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.
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.
by meiosis. for sperm it is called spermatogenesis while for eggs it is called oogenesis.
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.
spermatogenesis produces 4 sperm cells and oogenisis produces one ovum. Both have 23 chromosomes each
