Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oogenesis differs from spermatogenesis in all three ways mentioned: the number of functional gametes produced (spermatogenesis produces four spermatozoa per meiosis, while oogenesis produces one mature ovum and up to three polar bodies), when it is completed (spermatogenesis is continuous from puberty to old age, while oogenesis is completed before birth), and the size of gametes produced (spermatozoa are small and highly mobile, while ova are large and immobile).
