Q: What is the main difference between gametogenesis and embryogenesis?
A:
Gametogenesis is the process of forming gametes (sex cells), while embryogenesis is the development of an embryo from a fertilized egg. Gametogenesis occurs in the reproductive organs, producing sperm or eggs, whereas embryogenesis takes place after fertilization and involves the growth and differentiation of the zygote into an embryo.
