Define gametogenesis.


Gametogenesis is a pre-fertilization process that leads to the formation of haploid male and female gametes respectively.
Reproduction is a biological process in which an organism gives rise to offspring.
In a life cycle of a sexually reproducing organism, three important events occurs viz., pre-fertilization events, fertilization and post-fertilization events.
Thus pre-fertilization events include gametogenesis (formation of gametes) and gamete transfer.
Thus gametogenesis is a process that leads to the formation of gametes in an organism.

Final Answer

Gametogenesis is a pre-fertilization process, that leads to the formation of haploid male and female gametes respectively
