A gametocyte is a eukaryotic germ cell that divides by mitosis into other gametocytes or by meiosis into gametids during gametogenesis. Male gametocytes are called ''spermatocytes'', and female gametocytes are called ''oocytes''. ==Development== (詳細はgametogonia to primary gametocytes is called ''gametocytogenesis''. The further development of primary gametocytes to secondary gametocytes is a part of gametidogenesis. Gametogenesis is the formation or production of gametes (taking place during meiosis). The development and maturation of sex cells also takes place during meiosis. Gametogenesis is also the process of formation in male and female gametes that occur in the gonards (ovary and testis). Both male and female produce gametes. Male gametocytes are called Spermatocyte and female gametocytes are called Oocytes. The term gametocyte is also used, for example, when talking about gametocytes of species like ''Plasmodium falciparum'' or ''Plasmodium vivax'', which transmit malaria.〔http://gametocyte.ask.define.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gametocyte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
