Gametengrootten
Gametengrootten, also known as *gametengroei* or *gametogenesis*, refers to the biological process by which organisms produce gametes, the haploid reproductive cells (sperm and egg in animals, pollen and ovules in plants). This process is essential for sexual reproduction and ensures genetic diversity through meiosis, a specialized type of cell division that reduces chromosome number by half.
In animals, gametogenesis occurs in specialized organs called gonads: testes in males and ovaries in females.
In plants, gametogenesis occurs in reproductive structures such as anthers (male) and ovules (female). Pollen grains
Gametogenesis is tightly regulated by genetic and environmental factors, ensuring proper development and function. Disruptions in
