C
Gametogenesis
D
Spermatogenesis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that gametogenesis is the general process of forming gametes (sperm and eggs) through meiosis.
Recognize that oogenesis is the specific type of gametogenesis that results in the formation of female gametes, or eggs, in the ovaries.
Differentiate between oogenesis and spermatogenesis, where spermatogenesis is the formation of male gametes, or sperm.
Note that cytokinesis is a part of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, but it is not specific to gamete formation.
Conclude that the process resulting in the formation of female gametes by meiosis is called oogenesis.
