If egg not fertilized, degenerates and new follicle matures at next cycle: oogenesis and spermatogenesis processes differ in 3 ways i. In spermatogenesis only, all 4 cells produced by meiosis become mature gametes: cytokinesis unequal in oogenesis; 2 polar bodies produced, spermatogenesis occurs throughout adolescence and adulthood. In oogenesis, all mitosis completed before birth; mature gamete production stops by 50years: spermatogenesis produces mature sperm from precursor cells in continuous sequence. It is unusual process because in many other mammals individuals reproductive all life: humans and closely related primates have menstrual cycles (also bats, elephant shrews, other mammals lack menstrual cycle and have estrous cycle instead.
