Question

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GAMETOGENESIS FROM EMBRYOGENESIS

Answer 1

Answer:

Gametogenesis

•It is responsible for haploid sex cell formation

•Its two main phases are – maturation and cell division

•In plants it takes place in gametangia while in animals it takes place in gonads

•It is of two types depending on the type of sex cells produced – spermatogenesis and oogenesis

embryogenesis

•From a unicellular zygote, a multicellular embryo development and forms

•It commences with the uniting of the male and female gamete to produce the zygote, a diploid cell

•The embryonic phase in humans last up till 11 weeks post which the fetal development commences

•Four phases of embryogenesis include – cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, and organogenesis

Answer 2

Answer:

Gametogenesis is different from embryogenesis as mitosis and meiosis occurs in gametogenesis while in embryogenesis only mitosis takes place. Also, embryogenesis is responsible to form and develop the embryo while gametogenesis is responsible for producing male and female gametes.
