An organism undergoes a series of changes throughout its life cycle. Gametogenesis (spermatogenesis and oogenesis), plays a crucial role in humans to support the continuance of generations.
Gametogenesis is the process of division of diploid cells or haploid cells to produce new haploid cells. In humans, two different types of gametes are present. Male gametes are called sperm and female gametes are called the ovum.
Spermatogenesis: Sperm formation
Oogenesis: Ovum formation
Final answer:
Gametogenesis is the process performed by the diploid or haploid cells to produce new haploid cells or gametes.
