Question
Sir, please describe me about gametogenesis and the process involved in brief. Also tell me that how the diploid cell becomes haploid during gametogenesis.
Thanks for using AllExperts. This is a complex topic, and one that benefits from the use of diagrams and charts that I cannot provide in this medium. However, I can refer you to some excellent sources on the topic. You may find more information about gametogenesis here:

Good luck!

I will answer all biology-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework, tell me what you already know and I will help you as much as possible. Please do not ask me for ideas on school research projects; part of research is determining a suitable area of investigation, and that's not a task that should be completed by someone else. Please don't simply send me your homework for solutions. If you are having difficulty after you have started an analysis, I will be happy to direct your thinking; in particular, I would prefer to not simply solve pedigrees for students, but I will be happy to assist in solving pedigrees that you have already started. If you don't understand how to analyze a pedigree, I'd highly recommend watching this video, in which a biology professor explains the basic concepts of pedigree analysis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbIHjsn5cHo
