Oogenesis in the female results in one functional gamete—the egg, or ovum. What other cells are produced? What is the significance of this rather wasteful type of gamete production—that is, production of a single functional gamete instead of four, as seen in males?
What is the most significant difference in the process of gametogenesis comparing oogenesis with spermatogenesis?
Why does external fertilization not require the involvement of gametes?
