Cancer is caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Taxol is an anti-cancer drug that works by stopping the spindle fibers from dissembling (comping apart) during mitosis. Using your knowledge of mitosis, explain how taxol stops cancer.

Q: Cancer considered as Cell Cycle Disease?

A:

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:
