Question

What is true about gametogenesis in both males and females? what is true about gametogenesis in both males and females? the haploid number of chromosomes first appears in the gametes. primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes contain the diploid number of chromosomes. gametes are formed in special structures called follicles. meiosis ii is completed in all of the gametes that are produced?

Answer 1

Primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes contain the diploid number of chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary spermatocytes is derived from immature germ cells called spermatogonia by the process, mitosis.

While primary oocytes is derived from immature germ cells called oogonia by mitosis.

In both cases, they contain a diploid number of chromosomes(2N) since they have not yet matured into secondary sex cell. They are called as primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes respectively and they are with the diploid number of chromosome.
