Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 7LTB
Gametogenesis _________ .
A. begins at puberty in males and females;
B. requires that the Leydig cells of males produce semen; results in the production of diploid cells from haploid cells;
C. begins at puberty in female;
D. requires that meiosis halve the chromosome number so that sperm and eggs carry half the number of chromosomes as non-gametes.

In humans, gametogenesis in both sexes relies on meiosis. However, spermatogenesis produces four gametes while oogenesis produces only one. Explain why this is so, including the specific structures or processes involved.
The diagram in Figure 1 shows a section through the mammalian testis. With reference to this diagram answer the following questions:
FIGURE 1
(a) What percentage of each of the following types of cells would you expect to contain an X chromosome.
Give a REASON for your answer in each case.
i) type cell A
ii) type cell B
(b)Name the cell type labelled B which under goes mitosis.
State the importance of mitosis in a mature testis.
Oogenesis in the female results in one functional gamete—the egg, or ovum. What other cells are produced? What is the significance of this rather wasteful type of gamete production—that is, production of a single functional gamete instead of four, as seen in males?
