Answer;

In gametogenesis , germinal cells multiply by mitosis and mature gametes are formed by meiosis.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Gametogenesis is the process whereby a haploid cell (n) is formed from a diploid cell (2n) through meiosis and cell differentiation.

-Gametogenesis in the male is known as spermatogenesis and produces spermatozoa. Gametogenesis in the female is known as oogenesis and result in the formation of ova.

The process of gametogenesis occurs in the gonads and involves;

  • Multiple mitotic divisions and cell growth of precursor germ cells
  • Two meiotic divisions (meiosis I and II) to produce haploid daughter cells
  • Differentiation of the haploid daughter cells to produce functional gametes
