Answer:

Gametogenesis is the process where a haploid cell is formed from diploid cell. Gametogenesis in male is called Spermatogenesis and gametogenesis in female is called as Oogenesis

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒The process through which mature sperm or spermatozoa is produced is called as Spermatogenesis and the process through which mature ova or egg is formed is called as Oogenesis.

⇒Spermatogenesis takes approximately 70 days whereas Oogenesis begins prior to birth that is during the foetus period.

⇒Spermatogenesis contain different stages like- Primay spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, spermatid and spermatozoa whereas, Oogenesis contain Primary oocyte, Secondary oocyte &first polar body, mature ovum and second polar body.
