Gametogenesis: - Gametes Develop in The Gonads (Sex Cells)

Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes, or sex cells, are produced in the gonads through two types: spermatogenesis where sperm are produced in the testes through meiosis and oogenesis where eggs are produced in the ovaries through meiosis, typically resulting in one functional egg and three nonfunctional polar bodies. Fertilization occurs internally in mammals when sperm meet eggs in the oviduct, forming a zygote which becomes an embryo after the first cell division.

Gametogenesis

Gametes develop in
the gonads (sex cells)

Their are 2
types of
gametogenesis

Spermatogenesis
Production of sperm
in the testes
Produce 4 sperm
from one cell
Meiosis

Male Reproductive System

Oogenesis
Production of eggs in
the ovary.
Produce 4 eggs by
meiosis
One egg cells is
function
Three egg cells are
nonfunctional
The are known as
polar bodies

Female Reproductive
System
Lastly the
sperm and
egg meet
here for
fertilization

Sperm must
pass through
the uterus
2nd
Sperm Enters
the vagina 1st

Oviduct
Fertilization occurs here

Zygote
Zygote is a fertilized
egg.
A fertilized egg
becomes an embryo
as soon as the first
cleavage occurs.

Internal Ferilization
Chance of zygote
survival is increased
greatly

External Fertilization
Zygotes chance of
survival decreases
significantly
