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.

Description
Test your knowledge of gametogenesis and the changes that occur during oogenesis and spermatogenesis from prenatal life to puberty. Understand the process of gamete production and the clinical correlates related to this biological process.
