  • What does spermatogenesis produce daily?

    Millions of motile sperm daily from puberty throughout life.
  • How many sperm are produced from each diploid precursor cell in spermatogenesis?

    Four small, motile sperm from each diploid precursor cell.
  • What type of meiosis does spermatogenesis use?

    Symmetric meiosis is used in spermatogenesis.
  • How many oocytes mature per menstrual cycle?

    Usually one oocyte maturing per menstrual cycle.
  • What does one diploid spermatogonium produce?

    One diploid spermatogonium produces 4 functional sperm.
  • What is the cytokinesis outcome in spermatogenesis?

    Cytokinesis is roughly equal, so all four become viable sperm.
  • What does one diploid oogonium produce?

    One diploid oogonium produces 1 functional ovum + 2–3 polar bodies.
  • What is the cytokinesis outcome in oogenesis?

    Cytokinesis is highly unequal; almost all cytoplasm goes into a single large egg.
  • Describe the size and function of sperm.

    Small, motile, streamlined; function is to deliver haploid nucleus to the egg.
  • Describe the size and function of an egg (ovum).

    Large, non-motile, full of cytoplasm; function is to provide nucleus + nutrients + organelles.
