In this question we are talking about sperm formation.
00:06
Sperm formation is called as spermatogenesis.
00:12
Spermatogenesis.
00:14
And then we are given egg formation.
00:19
Egg formation is called as eugenesis.
00:23
And we have to discuss the similarities and differences between these two process spermatogenesis and eugenesis.
00:32
So let's discuss the similarities first.
00:35
So talking about the similarities.
00:38
The first similarity is that both sperm and egg they originate from germ cells.
00:44
They will originate from germ cells.
00:52
The germ cells which are present in the gonads.
00:55
Gonads are the testes in the males while the gonads of females are the ovaries.
01:05
And these germ cells are the spermatocytes in males.
01:10
In case of spermatogenesis germ cells are the spermatocytes.
01:16
Which will undergo meiosis to finally form the sperms.
01:22
And in case of females the germ cells are the oocytes.
01:28
Which will also undergo meiosis to form the ovum or the egg.
01:36
Then the second point of similarity is that both these process involve cell division of meiosis.
01:43
So they will involve meiosis in which the both sperm and egg they are produced and they are haploid.
01:55
So both sperm and egg are haploid that is they have n number of chromosomes.
02:00
And both these process involve meiotic division.
02:05
And third point of similarity is that the maturation of both sperm and egg occurs in gonads.
02:13
So the maturation occurs in the gonads.
02:18
During spermatogenesis this is completed in the epididymis portion.
02:25
So epididymis portion is the one in which sperms mature.
02:34
So sperms mature in the epididymis while the egg matures in the fallopian tube.
02:43
In the fallopian tube and both these are present in the gonads.
02:48
So this is another point of similarity...
