Gametogenesis

2. The phase when the egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube.
4. The transformation of spermatids into sperm cells.
6. The final maturation phase of sperm cells.
7. The process of follicle growth in the ovary.
8. The second stage of sperm cell division containing 23 chromosomes.
9. The reduction of chromosome number by half in gametes.
11. The monthly cycle involving egg maturation and preparation for pregnancy.
12. The first stage of sperm cell division containing 46 chromosomes.
13. Cells in the testes that produce testosterone.
16. Formation of a zygote by fusion of sperm and egg.
20. The process where spermatids differentiate into mature spermatozoa.
22. Functions of the testes related to sperm production and hormone secretion.
23. The process by which gametes develop into fully mature cells.
24. The two-part division process that produces gametes in spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
25. Small cells produced in oogenesis that eventually degenerate.
28. Cells that give rise to gametes through division and differentiation.
29. The initial diploid cell in oogenesis that begins meiosis.
30. The structure formed after ovulation that secretes hormones.

1. The entire process of producing mature gametes for reproduction.
3. Conversion from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) cells in gamete formation.
5. The haploid cell formed after the first meiotic division in oogenesis.
10. The division of spermatogonia to form primary spermatocytes.
14. The multiplication of oogonia during fetal development.
15. The fully matured follicle ready for ovulation.
17. The thickening of the uterus lining in preparation for possible implantation.
18. Refers to the production of sperm cells in the testes.
19. Cells in the seminiferous tubules that support and nourish developing sperm.
21. The production of eggs in the ovaries.
26. The phase after ovulation, involving corpus luteum formation.
27. The phase where the follicle grows and matures in the ovary.
