What is another word for gametogenesis?
Pronunciation: [ɡˌamɪtə͡ʊd͡ʒˈɛnɪsˌɪs] (IPA) 
Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes are produced in an organism. Synonyms for gametogenesis include gamete formation, gamete development, and gonadogenesis. In plants, the term sporogenesis is used to describe the process of gametogenesis, as gametes are formed from spores. The process of gametogenesis differs between males and females, with spermatogenesis describing the formation of sperm in males, and oogenesis describing the formation of eggs in females. Both processes involve complex cellular and molecular mechanisms, including meiosis, genetic recombination, and differentiation. Understanding gametogenesis is crucial to our understanding of reproductive biology and the transmission of genetic traits within populations.
