Cancer is a disease in which cells exhibit uncontrolled cell division. Drugs used in the study of microtubules are also used in the treatment of cancer. Why are drugs that disrupt microtubules more useful in the treatment of cancer than are drugs used to disrupt microfilaments? What is the name of the category of these drugs that describes their function?

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:
