Gametogenesis is the process by which reproductive cells called gametes are produced in organisms. In animals, gametogenesis occurs through meiosis, a type of cell division that results in the formation of haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells). In males, gametogenesis produces sperm cells through spermatogenesis, while in females, it produces egg cells through oogenesis. This process is essential for sexual reproduction and ensures genetic diversity in offspring.
