define gametogenesis .how does cell division occurs during gamete formation
Answers
Gametogenesis is the production of gametes from haploid precursor cells. In animals and higher plants, two morphologically distinct types of gametes are produced (male and female) via distinct differentiation programs.
Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. ... During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Answer:
Gametogenesis:-It refers to the process of formation of the two types of male and female gametes
In this case , most of the animals have a diploid body . Hence , cell division takes place during gamete formation by meiotic division . A few animal species (ants , bees , wasps) show an unusual type of sex differentiation . The male are haploid and make haploid eggs by meiosis . If an egg is fertilised , it develops into female while unfertilised eggs develop into males .
