1. Oogenesis is the process of female gamete (ovum or egg) production in animals. Spermatogenesis is the process of male gamete (sperm) production in animals. Although both processes produce gamete(s), there are distinct similarities and differences between the two.

Compare and contrast oogenesis to spermatogenesis by drawing a diagram showing the two processes. In your hand-drawn diagrams, be sure to include
when the processes of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II are occurring
identify each germ cell structure and its ploidy
highlight 4 differences between the two processes
