Gametogenesis

Gametogenesis:

The primary sex organs – the testis in the males and the ovaries in the females –produce gametes, i.e, sperms and ovum, respectively, by the process called gametogenesis.

It involves two processes:

1) Spermatogenesis: Formation of haploid sperms in males.

2) Oogenesis: Formation of haploid ovum in females.
