Question
Chapter 50, Problem 4TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Reproductive system (or genital system) is involved in sexual reproduction. The male and female reproductive systems function to propagate the species. Gametogenesis is a process by which male and female gametes are produced. The spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the two types of gametogenesis present in the sexual reproduction of animals.
