Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.1.2AYLO
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The difference between the chromosome number of normal cells and the gametes.
The requirement of reducing the number of chromosomes to half at the time of gametogenesis and the process through which the gametogenesis takes place.
Introduction:
The gametogenesis is the process of formation of the haploid gametes in the sexually reproducing organisms. The human male gamete is sperm and the process of production of sperm is known as the spermatogenesis. The female gamete is known egg or oocyte and the process of egg production is known as oogenesis.
