Lab 11 - Mitosis & Meiosis - If provided microscope images of plant cells, can you determine if they are in Interphase and/or identify the particular Mitosis stage (Pro, Prometa, Meta, Ana, Telo)? - If provided meiosis beads (like what we used in lab), can you look at how they are arranged and determine what meiosis stage is being represented (the stage name and if it’s from Meiosis-I or Meiosis-II)?
Oogenesis
The formation of the ovum (mature female gamete) from undifferentiated germ cells is called oogenesis. This process takes place in the ovaries (female gonads). Oogenesis consists of three stages known as the multiplication phase, growth phase, and maturation phase.
Cell Division
Cell division involves the formation of new daughter cells from the parent cells. It is a part of the cell cycle that takes place in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Cell division is required for three main reasons:
Introduction
A typical cell can divide by two processes one is Mitotic cell division and the second one known as Meiosis.
Mitosis: this is called equational division because the daughter cells produced by this type of cell division have the same ploidy level as the mother cell. Mitosis produces two daughter cells. And the ploidy of daughter cells remains the same as that of the parent cells.
