Spermatogenesis vs oogenesis

Compare how many gametes form from one primary spermatocyte and one primary oocyte.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Meiosis halves the chromosome number from 46 to 23; in oogenesis unequal division conserves cytoplasm in the ovum.

Key relation

Primary spermatocyte → 4 sperms ; primary oocyte → 1 ovum + polar bodies

Try this

Switch to oogenesis. Where does the second meiotic division finish?

What you can change

• Process: choose Spermatogenesis, Oogenesis
• Primary cells: 1 to 4

More in Human Reproduction

• From zygote to implantation
• Menstrual cycle: ovary, uterus and hormones
