5. Sexual dimorphism of spermatogenesis and ovogenesis

The two sexes differ fundamentally in gametogenesis. The basic difference is that spermatogenesis is a dynamic, strictly ordered process of forming new cells, whereas in a woman an already formed cell is induced to develop further. The male organism, therefore, can be influenced by outside forces, and the female can transfer these influences to successive generations.

man		woman
spermatogenesis		ovogenesis
is a dynamic, strictly ordered process of forming new cells		is induction of one cell development from already once formed pool
perception			fixation
"operative memory" of a species		"constant memory" of a species

The sexual dimorphism of gametogenesis allows for the realization of the so-called 'population' functions of gender
