Added by Laura H.
Step 1
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It results in the production of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, ensuring genetic diversity and proper Show more…

'16. Compare the process of meiosis between male and female mammals: Include in your discussion the name of each process its location, onset and duration. Finally, contrast the differences in the number and size of the final, mature gametes produced'

Compare and contrast the timing and completion of meiosis and production of gametes in males and females during their lives (spermatogenesis vs. oogenesis). How do the number of cells produced vary, when does production begin & cease, and how long does meiosis last?

In human females, both meiotic divisions occur by a cytokinesis that is unequal, producing a large cell and a small polar body that is reabsorbed. In comparing male and female meiosis then, we can say that each meiosis produces
