Female mother cell - Primodial germ cell- product is primary Oocyte _ arrested in prophase of
miosis I - begins at puberty.

Nucleus in female gamates- towards the center of the egg cell.

Nucleus in male gamates - at the head of the sperm cell

Lining of the uterus - Endometrium

An immature egg is called an oocyte. Oocytes rest in follicles (fluid-filled sacs) in your ovaries
until they begin to mature. The oocyte grows up to be an ootid and develops into an ovum
(plural: ova), or mature egg. Since this isn’t a science course, we’ll mainly stick to the name
we’re most familiar with — egg.

Gamete cells - known as sex cells , are the cells responsible for sexual reproduction.

Male gamete is called sperm (spermatozoa) and is a haploid cell formed
through Spermatogenesis.

Male gametes, male sex cells, are called sperm cells

Female gamete is called an ova or egg cells (Oocytes), which are haploid cells carrying one copy
of each chromosome.

Meiosis - “Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in four daughter cells, each with half
the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.” definition.

 Most of the cells within the human body, as well as the bodies of other animals, reproduce
through a system known as mitosis. 

 allows non-sex cells to reproduce, and create copies of themselves.

 one cell referred to as a mother cell divides itself to create two new cells, the daughter cells
