What is Gametocytogenesis?

gametocyte is a eukaryotic germ cell that divides by mitosis into other gametocytes or by meiosis into gametes during gametogenesis. Male gametocytes are called spermatocytes, and female gametocytes are called oocytes.

A gametogonium (plural gametogonia) is a germ cell that divides into gametocytes during gametogenesis. Male gametogonia are called spermatogonia, and female gametogonia are called oogonia.

Male (♂) refers to the sex of an organism, or part of an organism, which produces small mobile gametes, called spermatozoa. Each spermatozoon can fuse with a larger female gamete or ovum, in the process of fertilisation.

Sexual reproduction is a union that results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring. It is characterized by two processes: meiosis, involving the halving of the number of chromosomes; and fertilisation, involving the fusion of two gametes and the restoration of the

Spermatocytogenesis is the male form of gametocytogenesis and involves stem cells dividing to replace themselves and to produce a population of cells destined to become mature sperm.

Oogenesis or rarely oögenesis is the creation of an ovum (egg cell). It is the female process of gametogenesis. It involves the various stages of immature ova.

Oogenesis in mammals

In mammals, oogenesis occurs in the ovarian follicle of the ovary.
