Summary Introduction
To determine: The differences and the similarity in the process of egg and sperm formation.
Introduction:
The process of the formation of the egg or ovum is called oogenesis, and the process of formation of sperms is called spermatogenesis. Ova are formed in the ovary in females, and the sperms are formed in the testes in males.

After the embryo has grown large enough and metamorphosed into a young urchin they hide in the spines of the adults, living off of the scraps of food produced from the messy eating of the adults] 3: Because the urchin life involves two or more ecological niches, they are more susceptible to predation and exposure to environmental toxins.
