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:
Determine if the cells in prophase II of meiosis are haploid or diploid.
Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell division that occur to form daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells where the nucleus divides once to produce two daughter cells.
Meiosis occurs in germ cells where the nucleus divides twice to produce four daughter cells. The purpose of both these cell divisions is to produce new daughter cells from the parent cells.
