Meiosis II

How many haploid cells does Meiosis produce?

4 haploid cells

what are the chromosome types?

Sex chromosomes: x and y

Autosomes: all the other 22 chromosomes

Gametogenesis

the process by which diploids are turned into gametes/sex cells/haploids, in women it’s oogenesis, in men, it’s spermatogenesis

What are germ cells?

future sperm and egg cells which are developed when one is an embryo , they live in the testes/ovaries

Differences between sperm and egg cells

sperms only have a nucleus and little organelles so they can be fast, while egg cells have lots of organelles so they can support the zygote that the sperm and egg cell produce

what is spermatogenesis

germ cells turn into sperm by meiosis

what is oogenesis

germ cells turn into eggs by meiosis

How does fertilization occur?

acrosome breaks through the corona radiata and fertilizes the egg which forms a zygote
