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:
Describe key differences between mitosis and meiosis; explain how the end result of meiosis differs from that of mitosis.
All living cells undergo the continuous cell division process known as mitosis. Here, asexual reproduction is used for cell division. In addition, we witness the destruction of the nuclear membrane.
Meiosis describes the production of daughter cells. As a result, we can see that only cells that go through meiosis develop into sperm or eggs. Additionally, there are two meiosis phases: meiosis I and meiosis II.
