Solution
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 almost until death.
|
In females, oogenesis starts before birth and occurs until menopause.
