which of these processes produces gametes in animals?

Meiosis. Sexual reproduction uses the process of meiosis , which creates gametes . These are sperm and eggs (ova) in animals, and pollen and ova in plants. The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs.

The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell, or gamete, in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, "female" gamete and a smaller, "male" one).

Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. ... It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half—from 46 to 23—to form sperm and egg cells. When the sperm and egg cells unite at conception, each contributes 23 chromosomes so the resulting embryo will have the usual 46.

Species that use internal reproduction produce relatively few gametes. Because the male directly deposits sperm into the female's body, fewer gametes are needed. External fertilization requires the male and female animals to produce larger numbers of gametes.

Meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes . A human body cell contains 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Human gametes are haploid – so their nucleus only contains a single set of 23 unpaired chromosomes.

Sexual reproduction requires the union of two specialized cells, called gametes, each of which contains one set of chromosomes. When gametes unite, they form a zygote, or fertilized egg that contains two sets of chromosomes.

Meiosis occurs in diploid cells. The chromosomes duplicate once, and through two successive divisions, four haploid cells are produced, each with half the chromosome number of the parental cell. ... In animals, where the somatic (body) cells are diploid, the products of meiosis are the gametes.

The major difference between gametogenesis in animals and plants is that in animals it includes the transformation of the cells from diploid cells to haploid cells and the formation of haploid gametes; and in plants gametogenesis is the formation of the gametes from haploid cells.

What is the difference between a gamete and a regular animal cell? A gamete is haploid while a regular animal cell is diploid. ... A single cell with seven pairs of homologous chromosomes goes through meiosis I.

Fertilisation is the fusion of the nucleus of a male gamete with the nucleus of a female gamete. In humans, each gamete has half the number of the total 46 chromosomes that the body requires.

Meiosis is a process of sexual reproduction that produces new gene combinations, which differs from mitosis, itself an asexual process of cell division. Meiosis occurs in reproductive plant and animal cells like spores, sperm and egg cells. Meiosis supports biodiversity within the species.

Gametes develop in the multicellular haploid gametophyte (from the Greek phyton, “plant”). Fertilization gives rise to a multicellular diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores via meiosis. This type of life cycle is called a haplodiplontic life cycle (Figure 20.1).

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the processes of formation of male and female gametes. Spermatogenesis leads to the formation of sperms, whereas oogenesis helps in the formation of ova.
148229
At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a diploid zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.

Gametogenesis is the process whereby a haploid cell (n) is formed from a diploid cell (2n) through meiosis and cell differentiation. Gametogenesis in the male is known as spermatogenesis and produces spermatozoa. Gametogenesis in the female is known as oogenesis and result in the formation of ova.

When a cell divides by way of mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes. When a cell divides by way of meiosis, it produces four cells, called gametes. Gametes are more commonly called sperm in males and eggs in females.
