How is 'oogenesis' markedly different from 'spermatogenesis' with respect to the growth till puberty in the humans?
Spermatogenesis |
Oogenesis |
It is the process by which sperms are formed from the sperm mother cell in males. |
It is the process by which ovum is formed from the oogonia in females. |
After the second meiotic divisions in a single spermatogonium, 4 spermatids are obtained, which undergo maturation to form 4 sperm cells, or spermatozoa |
After the second meiotic divisions in the single oogonium, only one ovum and three polar bodies are obtained. |
Spermatogenesis occurs in males from puberty to death. |
In females, oogenesis starts before birth and occurs until menopause. |
