Differences between spermatogenesis and oogenesis:

Spermatogenesis

Oogenesis

  • It occurs in the testes.
  • It occurs in the ovaries.
  • Spermatogonia change to primary spermatocytes.
  • Oogonia change to primary oocytes.
  • A primary spermatocyte divides to form two secondary spermatocytes.
  • A primary oocytes divides to form one secondary oocyte and one polar body.
  • A secondary spermatocyte divides to form two spermatids.
  • A secondary oocyte divides to form one ootid and one polar body.
  • No polar body is formed.
  • Two polar bodies are formed.
  • One spermatogonium forms four spermatozoa.
  • One oogonium forms one ovum.
