    Gametogenesis

    Uploaded by

    Joanne Crishna Miguel
    This document discusses gametogenesis, the process by which gametes are produced in mammals. It explains that germ cells migrate to the gonads early in development and undergo meiotic divisions to produce haploid gametes. In males (spermatogenesis), spermatogonia develop into sperm cells in the testes through two meiotic divisions. In females (oogenesis), oogonia develop into a single ovum and three polar bodies in the ovaries through two meiotic divisions. Fertilization occurs when the sperm and egg meet in the female's oviducts, forming a zygote that has a greater chance of survival with internal fertilization compared to external fertilization.

    Gametogenesis

    Today’s Objectives
    • Identify the process by which meiotic
    divisions lead to both male and female
    mammalian gametes
    • Identify the following important
    components of the process of fertilization:
    gametes, spermatogonia, flagellum,
    tubulin, oocyte, pronuclei, vitelline
    membrane, zona pellucida
    Gametogenesis
    • Process of creating gametes
    • Germ cells are set aside early in
    development
    • Migrate to the gonad
    • Undergo meiotic divisions to make haploid
    germ cells
    Meiosis - A review
    • What is the ploidy of the somatic cell that will
    undergo meiosis to form gametes?
    • How many cell divisions take place?
    • What happens to the genome before the first
    division?
    • What are the phases in each meiotic division?
    • How many daughter cells are made?
    • What is the ploidy of those daughter cells?
    Gametogenesis in Mammals
    • Spermatogenesis
    – Process of producing sperm
    – Occurs in seminiferous tubules of
    the testes
    • Oogenesis
    – Process of producing oocytes
    – Occurs in ovaries
    Spermatogenesis
    1) Spermatogonia are the germ cells that will eventually
    develop into the mature sperm; the first step in this
    development is the duplication of homologous
    chromosomes to get ready for meiosis
    2) Primary spermatocyte :the first meiotic division separates
    the homologous chromosomes from each parent
    3) Secondary spermatocyte :the second meiotic division
    separates the 2 chromatids and creates 4 haploid cells
    4) Spermatids: Will produce 4 sperm cells by the process of
    spermiogenesis.
    Sperm cells differentiate into the shape we commonly
    know(will talk more about structure next time)
    Simplified view
    of
    spermatogenesis
    Oogenesis
    1) Oogonia are the germ cells that will eventually
    develop into the mature oocytes
    2) Primary oocyte : Undergoes the first meiotic
    division, separating homologous chromosomes
    3) Secondary oocyte :the second meiotic division
    separates the 2 chromatids and creates 4 haploid
    cells
    4) Egg:
    • In females, it produces 1 egg (ovum) and 3 polar
    bodies. This allows the egg to retain more cytoplasm
    to support early stages of development
    Implantation in
    uterine wall

    Fertilization through implantation


    Male Reproductive System
    Female Reproductive
    Lastly the
    System
    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
