Spermatogenesis produces four haploid sperm cells per meiosis cycle, while oogenesis produces one haploid ovum and polar bodies. Oogenesis is cyclical, linked to the menstrual cycle, while spermatogenesis is continuous. Both processes rely on hormones from the gonads and anterior pituitary, not the posterior pituitary. Both ovaries and testes have stem cells for gamete production.
