Identification of Stages of Gamete Development
Gamete Development occurs in the primary sex organs, i.e., testis and ovary in male and female organisms respectively. The process of gamete development i.e., sperms and ovum is termed gametogenesis and involves meiotic cell division. The gamete development in the testis is referred to as spermatogenesis and in the ovary as oogenesis. They exhibit distinct characteristics which can be examined in the transverse section (T.S.) of these organs. In this section, we shall study the identification of stages of gamete development.
