GAMETOGENESIS

The process of formation of gametes in primary sex organs is called Gametogenesis.

Gametogenesis includes-

• spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis in males
• oogenesis in females.

The process of formation of sperms is called spermatogenesis. It involves 3 phases-

• multiplication phase
• growth phase
• maturation phase.

The conversion of spermatids into sperms is called spermiogenesis.

The process of formation of a mature female gamete is called oogenesis.
