Write any four similarities in spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
✓
Answer
1. Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis take place in gonads and begin by primary germ cells of germinal epithelicum.
2. Both the processes have three phases named multiplication phase, growth phase and maturation phase.
3. In multiplication phase, there occurs quantitative increase in germ cells by repeated mitotic division in both spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
4. Maturation phase involves two meiotic division both in spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
