Study Notes

Meiosis and Gametogenesis

The main purpose of meiosis is to produce haploid gametes (sperm or egg cells) with unique combinations of chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity.
The result of meiosis is the production of four haploid gametes, each with a unique combination of chromosomes.
In females, gametogenesis (oogenesis) occurs in the ovaries, where diploid oogonia differentiate into haploid egg cells.
Fertilization, the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell, restores the diploid number of chromosomes in zygotes.
The main difference between sperm and egg cells is the size and mobility; sperm cells are small, motile, and have a large amount of energy, while egg cells are large, non-motile, and provide nutrients.
Meiosis II is the second meiotic division, where each resulting gamete receives a unique combination of chromosomes.
The function of sperm cells is to deliver genetic material to the egg cell during fertilization.
