Difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis-

Feature	Spermatogenesis	Oogenesis
Definition	Production of sperms from spermatogonia	Production of eggs from oogonia
Organ involved	Testes	Ovary
Time of development	This occurs after puberty till death. It is a continuous process	Primary oocytes are formed in utero. Completion of first meiotic division takes place after ovulation and secondary meiosis occurs after fertilization
Number of gametes formed	Four gametes are produced by a single primary spermatocyte	Single primary oocyte gives rise to a secondary oocyte and a polar body( that is discarded ) after completion of meiosis 1.
