GAMETOGENISIS
-
The formation of gametes (sperm and eggs) in the sexorgans ,
these gametes are haploid (n)
-
There are 2 types of gametogenis :
> Spermatogenists
-
oogenists
NB . in males this starts at puberty and continues until death , and in females this starts at puberty and ends at Menopause
Spermatogenisis :
> formation of sperm from germinal epithelium cells that line seminiferous tubules
<
germinal epithelium divides by mitosis to form more germinal epithe/lum and some cells undergo melosis to form spermatozoa

oogenisis :
- the formation of ove from the germinal epithelial cells
> the first stages of development occur before birth in the varies of the foetus
