Sexual reproduction involves the creation of specialized cells called gametes.... Show more
Spermatogenesis happens in the testes of males, where immature diploid sperm cells undergo a series of divisions. The process starts with mitosis to increase the number of cells, followed by meiosis to produce haploid spermatocytes with half the genetic material.
Males continuously produce sperm throughout their reproductive lives. In fact, the male body generates several million sperm daily—approximately 1,500 every second! This constant production ensures a plentiful supply of gametes is always available.
The complete process follows a clear progression: diploid spermatogonia (2n) undergo mitosis, then primary spermatocytes (2n) undergo meiosis I to form secondary spermatocytes (n), which then complete meiosis II to form spermatids (n). These spermatids mature into fully functional sperm cells ready for potential fertilization.
💡 Unlike egg production, sperm production never stops after puberty, which is why men can father children well into old age.
Oogenesis takes place in the ovaries of females and differs significantly from sperm production. The process begins before birth, with females being born with approximately 2 million immature egg cells already formed. These cells remain arrested in development until puberty.
Unlike the continuous production of sperm, females release just one egg per month during ovulation. This process stops completely around age 51, when menopause occurs. The limited egg supply explains why female fertility decreases with age.
A key feature of oogenesis is the unequal division of cytoplasm during cell division. This creates one large, mature ovum containing most of the cellular nutrients, and three small polar bodies that eventually die. This uneven distribution ensures the egg has sufficient resources for early embryo development if fertilization occurs.
💡 The unequal division during oogenesis is critical—it ensures the one viable egg cell receives the maximum amount of cytoplasm and nutrients to support potential embryo development.
The journey of egg development spans decades in a woman's life. Before birth, diploid oogonia (2n) undergo mitotic divisions in the female embryo. These cells develop into primary oocytes which become arrested in prophase of meiosis I—they remain paused in this state until puberty.
After puberty, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) triggers the monthly completion of meiosis I in one primary oocyte. This creates a secondary oocyte and the first polar body. The secondary oocyte then begins meiosis II but pauses again at metaphase before being released from the ovary during ovulation.
The secondary oocyte completes meiosis II only if fertilization occurs. When a sperm enters the egg, it triggers the completion of the second meiotic division, forming the second polar body and a mature ovum. The nuclei of sperm and egg then fuse to create a diploid fertilized egg (2n).
💡 The entire process of oogenesis can take decades—eggs that are ovulated during a woman's 30s or 40s actually began developing before she was even born!

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
