I just need to see if the answers are right:
Identify different cells in the male and female body that undergo meiosis?
Male (1 pt): Males go through a process called spermatocytes I, which will undergo meiosis.
Female (1 pt): Females go through a process called oocytes which under goes meiosis.

A few terms to sort out this question: spermatogenesis is th overall process by which primordial germ cells called spermatogonia divide through meiosis I and meiosis II to produce four haploid spermatids. Spermatocytes are intermediary cells in the process - before Meiosis I they are called primary spermatocytes and so are diploid. Then they become haploid, secondary spermatocytes after Meiosis I. So to cut a long story short, you were very nearly correct. I have included a link to help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogenesis As for female gametogeneisis (the process of making haploid gametes or in this case eggs) the starting point is the oogonium, which becomes the primary oocyte. This then divides twice to give the mature ovum or egg. There's a picture on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogenesis I hope this helps clear up your question
