List three ways in which oogenesis differs from spermatogenesis. Be specific!

Describe the differences between spermatogenesis and oogenesis by filling out the following chart: Comparison  Spermatogenesis Oogenesis Sex Capable of this Process     Progenitor Cell involved     Location of Process     Continuity     End Products (list all the final products and their quantity)

Explain the steps of spermatogenesis.

After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern: "If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?" She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)! At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick). Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg? In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.

How is the distribution of the different stages of spermatogenesis based on the histological section? Describe the occurrence/distribution of the cells.

Differentiate between spermatogenesis and oogenesis.

Describe the process of fertilization.

Distinguish between the process of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Illustrate a complete diagram of fertilization between sperm and ovum.

Diagrammatically represent spermatogenesis

Explain both spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis.
