Study Notes
Spermatogenesis
- Spermatogenesis takes place in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
- The result of meiosis in spermatogenesis is four non-identical haploid sperm cells.
- The flagellum in sperm functions as a whip-like tail, enabling the sperm to swim and propel itself through the reproductive tract to reach the egg for fertilization.
Oogenesis and Sex Cells
- Primordial sex cells (oogonia) in females are located in the ovaries.
- The main difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis is that oogenesis produces a single large ovum, while spermatogenesis produces four smaller sperm cells.
- The ovaries are the sex cell-producing organs in females.
Meiosis and Cell Production
- As a result of meiosis in spermatogenesis, four non-identical cells are produced.
