Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spermatogenesis produces four mature sperm from the parent cell, while oogenesis produces one mature ovum. During oogenesis, two polar bodies are produced instead of one. The mature ovum is haploid (n), while the sperm is also haploid (n) after meiosis. Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis involve mitosis and meiosis.
