Male gametes are called .......... The process of forming these
gametes is ................
In the gonad (testes in humans), the diploid reproductive cell that
is destined to become a gamete is a(n) .....................
This cell goes through mitosis and produces a differentiated
diploid cell called a .....................
Those cells go through Meiosis I and produce haploid cells called
................. ......................
Those cells go through Meiosis Ii and produce a total of
.................(number)........... (cells), which then
differentiate to change shape and grow a flagellum in order to
become sperm.
Female gametes are called ............. The process of forming
these gametes is .........................
In the female gonad (ovary in humans), the diploid reproductive
cell that is destined to become a gamete is a(n)
...................... A human female is born with all of these
cells that she will ever produce. Once a month after puberty, one
of these cells enlarges and produces a differentiated diploid cell
called a ...............................
.............................
Those cells go through Meiosis I and produce a functional haploid
cell called ....................... ................... and a
nonfunctional, smaller haploid cell called a ...................
..............
The secondary oocyte is ovulated and Meiosis II will only continue
if ............... occurs.
At the end of oogenesis, a total of .................(number) ova
are produced.
The polar bodies are nonfunctional and
