Meiosis - answer-cell division that starts off with a diploid parent cell and and produces haploid gametes
(sperm/ egg)
Gametes - answer-oocytes/ sperm
Gametogenesis - answer-process of formation and development of gametes (egg/sperm)
The number of chromosomes is reduced during - answer-Meiosis
Number of haploid spermatids are formed from one spermatogonia - answer-4 (23X, 23X, 23Y, 23Y)
Meiosis - answer-Process that allows random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes
between gametes
What happens in the first meiotic division of spermatogenesis? - answer-Primary spermocyte (46xy)
undergoes reduction to form 2 haploid secondary spermocytes (23x, 23y)
What happens in the second meiotic division of spermatogenesis? - answer-4 haploid spermatids are
formed which are half the size of secondary spermocytes (23x, 23x, 23y, 23y)
Spermiogenesis - answer-Stage where 4 spermatids are gradually transformed into 4 mature sperms
(23x, 23x, 23y, 23y)
Oogenesis - answer-sequence of events in which oogonia are transformed into mature oocytes
All oogenia are transformed into primary oocytes (begin 1st meiotic division) before... - answer-birth
Ovulation - answer-release of oocyte from ovarian follicle
Primary ooctyes are suspended in prophase until - answer-beginning of puberty until menopause
(before ovulation)
Completion of first meiotic division of oogenesis occurs - answer-shortly before ovulation
Gametes are what type of cells? - answer-Haploid cells
haploid cells - answer-cells that have half the number of chromosomes
