Cells at the end of meiosis (i.e. each of the four gametes) have _____ when compared with cells at the beginning of meiosis (i.e. the parent cell in prophase I). a. half the number of chromosomes and one-fourth the amount of DNA b. half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA c. the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA d. half the amount of cytoplasm and half the amount of DNA
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:
Cells at the end of meiosis (i.e. each of the four gametes) have _____ when compared with cells at the
beginning of meiosis (i.e. the parent cell in prophase I).
a. half the number of chromosomes and one-fourth the amount of DNA
b. half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
c. the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
d. half the amount of cytoplasm and half the amount of DNA
