Study Notes
Primordial Germ Cells
- Primordial germ cells begin to migrate from the yolk sac towards the developing gonads during the 5th week.
Gametogenesis
- Gametogenesis is the process that involves the production of mature gametes in the testis and ovary.
- Oogenesis, the process of producing mature ova, occurs in the ovaries.
Meiosis
- Meiosis is the process that results in a reduction in the halving of chromosome content by meiotic division to allow fertilization to occur.
Germ Cell Division
- The result of germ cell division during migration towards the developing gonads is the formation of gametes.
