Principles of Animal Genetics and Population Genetics: Gametogenesis

Gametogenesis

GAMETOGENESIS

Gametogenesis is the production of haploid sex cells.
Gametes carry only one-half the genetic material from the germ cell line of each parent and fusion of spermatozoa and ova during fertilization results in a zygote with diploid genome.
The production of spermatozoa is called Spermatogenesis and the production of ovum is termed Oogenesis.
Mature haploid sex cells, either male or female, are called gametes (in human and animal, ovum and spermatozoa).
