Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis

Click here to view an animation about spermatogenesis. Take the quiz at the end. How did you do?

  1. (If it is possible) If you were to get cancer, could it form a tumor in your throat somehow, and suffocate you eventually? Or is there a special treatment for that already?

  2. really interesting, but kind of confusing. It is cool how similar mitosis is to meiosis!
    p.s. I didnt know that cells had an equator!

  4. If only Michael Davidman(or should I say DAVID MICHAELMAN!) was here. Anyway, the animations were... helpful. I tried some of the other videos on the side, and the "Animation: Stages of Meiosis" one was cool.

  5. Where was the quiz for spermatgenesis? I couldn't find it.
    And the oogenesis animation was really confusing! I'm sure we'll go over it tomorrow though. Thanks Leslie!

  8. I find spermatgenesis really intriguing.
    Thanks Leslie!

  9. wait so....mitosis produces 2 diploid cells and meiosis produces 4 haploid cells?

  10. how do spermatids transform into sperm?

  11. How come there isn't 4 eggs like sperm and what do polar bodies do?

  12. why does all of that splitting in oogenesis, result in only ONE egg?

  13. cool animations! although it was a little embarrassing, it was really informative. thanks leslie!
    this cleared up A LOT for me... less confusing now.

  15. Ohhh i get it. Well at least i think i do, there is a lot of splitting of the cells that confuses me still, its better when you explain it to us.

  16. Why does the body go into so many complicated processes to end up with minimal results? Long stages, pretty much little of the wanted results.... It's like our body is doing a Rube Goldberg itself!
    Ex: one month, one egg. Chickens can do it faster! Come on!

    Oh! and are the polar bodies the eggs for twins? How DO twins and triplets and quadruplets and quintuplets and oh, you get the point... but how do they happen are there extra eggs?

  17. i understand everything we learned, but i just wondered...what keeps the four haploids from becoming diploids again? how does the cell know whether it's doing mitosis or meiosis?

  18. Did we learn about this? I don't remember the Spermatogenisis and Oogenisis. -- Pia Koh 7B

  19. ummm........ i am still a little confused with spermatogenisis and oogenisis...like, idk. It just confuses me entirely. I think once we do the lab for it than i'll understand it more....

  20. I was watching the spermatoogonias video, and it kinda froze. But where it stopped i gathered that these are exactly the same as meiosis. Can you clarify on that?

    ReplyDelete
  21. ohhh you know what never mind i understand it now....i just watched it again and i finally understand it...ahh sorry!!! haha:))

  25. This is really helpful! THe animations definitly make it more clear.

    Thanks Leslie!

  26. Is it possible for spermatogenesis and oogenesis to not occur in one's body? (let's say...never happen at all)

  27. Great animations, now I understand it better =D

  28. Is it possible for spermatogenesis or oogenesis to never occur in a male or female? What are the chances?

  29. This animation was cool.... oogenesis and spermatogensis make a little more sense than it did before... :D
