Inside the ovaries of a female animal are diploid germ cells called oogonia.
An oogonium grows to become a primary oocyte. This large cell is still diploid.
Meiosis I followed by unequal cytoplasmic division produces one large secondary oocyte and a smaller polar body. Both are haploid.
Completion of meiosis and a second round of unequal cytoplasmic division produces one large secondary oocyte and three smaller polar bodies.
The secondary oocyte will function as a gamete and is also called an ovum, or egg. The polar bodies will degenerate.
Inside the testes of a male animal are diploid germ cells called spermatogonia.
One of these cells grows to become a primary spermatocyte. This large cell is still diploid.
Meiosis I and cytoplasmic division produce two haploid secondary spermatocytes.
Meiosis II and cytoplasmic division produce four spermatids.
These cells undergo changes in form to become sperm, the mature male gametes.
