Differentiate between gametogenesis from embryogenesis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gametogenesis is a process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes. Depending on the biological life cycle of the organism, gametogenesis occurs by meiotic division of diploid gametocytes into various gametes or by mitotic division of haploid gametogenous cells.
In flowering plants, the male gamete is produced inside the pollen grain through the division of a generative cell into two sperm nuclei. The female gamete is produced inside the embryo sac of the ovule.
Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo is formed and develops. It starts with the fertilization of ovum, egg which after fertilization, then called a zygote. Zygote undergoes rapid mitotic divisions. The formation of two exact genetic replicates of the original cell with no significant growth and cellular differentiation lead to development of an embryo.
Plant embryogenesis is the process that produces a plant embryo from a fertilized ovule by asymmetric cell division and the differentiation of undifferentiated cells into tissues and organs. It occurs during seed development, when the single celled zygote undergoes a programmed pattern of cell division resulting in a mature embryo.
