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:
How is metaphase II of meiosis similiar to metaphase of mitosis?
Introduction:
Meiosis, which produces gametes, is a reproductive cell division. Half of the chromosomes in the parent cell are found in the progeny cells after meiosis. This is due to the parent cell going through two meiotic divisions, first meiosis (meiosis I), and second meiosis (meiosis II). There are four main phases to each of them. Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase are these. Depending on whether they take place in meiosis I or meiosis II, each of these phases is referred to as I or II.
