In an attempt to simplify meiosis for the benefit of stu-dents, mad scientists develop a way of preventing premei-otic S phase and making do with having just one division, including pairing, crossing over, and segregation. Would this system work, and would the products of such a sys-tem differ from those of the present system?
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:
