Concept explainers

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:

The microscope image above shows the human chromosomes from a white blood cell. To create the image, researchers put cells in culture under conditions that encourage the cells to divide. They bathed the cells in a hypotonic (low salt) solution, which caused the cells to swell until their plasma membrane burst open. They "squashed" the chromosomes to spread them out, and stained them with a dye to make them visible under the microscope. Human chromosomes are numbered from longest (1) to shortest (22) plus the sex chromosomes X and Y. In the image chromosome 1 is about 7 micrometers. Answer the following questions. 1) What word(s) in the description above indicates that the chromosomes are not from a cell undergoing meiosis? 2) Based on the size, shape and appearance of the chromosomes in the image, in what cell cycle stage was the cell that the chromosomes came from? How can you tell? 3) Does the image suggest that centromere sequences are always located in the middle of a…
