Gametogenesis refers to formation of mature ova and sperm. A. Gonial cells are the designation given to germ cells before they enter meiosis. They replicate mitotically; hence they are genetically identical to the original zygote. When they begin meiosis, they are called spermatocytes and oöcytes.” During the proliferative phase, the germ cells are called and act as a stem cell population that will divide by mitosis to produce the lifetime supply of gametes that the organism requires for reproduction…When the organism reaches maturity, germ cells acquire the ability to differentiate into functional gametes and undergo meiosis to reduce the chromosome number from 2n to 1n.”
