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.
