In which behaviour of chromosomes do mitosis and meiosis differ from each other? In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs but don't cross over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes remain separate and undergo crossing overr. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes don't lie in pairs and don't undergo crossing over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes lie in pairs and get crossed over. In mitosis, chromosomes, as a whole, move towards the opposite poles; whereas, in meiosis I, chromatids move towards the opposite poles. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs, and form chiasmata; whereas, in mitosis homologous chromosomes don't undergo synapsis or crossing over.

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:
