Gametogenesis
gamete formation - sperm and oocyte specialized sex cells
Contain a haploid number of chromosomes (defined by centromere)
During meiosis the number of chromosomes is reduced
Gamete maturation is known as spermatogenesis and oogenesis
Meiosis
Cell division that involves two meiotic division occurring in the germ cells
Diploid germ cells > haploid gametes (sperms and oocytes)
First meiotic division (reduction)
diploid to haploid (pairing of homologous chromosomes)

Second meiotic division


Occurs without a normal interphase
