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:
Question
![### Cell Division: Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Mitosis is used to make more body cells while meiosis is only used to make gametes for sexual reproduction.
Use the diagram to identify one similarity and one difference between mitosis and meiosis. Your answer must specifically refer to this diagram. [i.e., say what specific cells in the diagram show the similarity or difference]
#### Diagram Explanation
##### Mitosis:
1. **Parent Cell:** A single parent cell with its DNA in a replicated state.
2. **DNA Replicates:** The DNA within the parent cell is duplicated.
3. **2 Daughter Cells:** The cell divides to form two daughter cells, each containing an identical set of DNA as the parent cell.
##### Meiosis:
1. **Parent Cell:** A single parent cell with its DNA in a replicated state.
2. **DNA Replicates:** The DNA within the parent cell is duplicated.
3. **2 Daughter Cells:** The cell first divides to form two daughter cells, each with half of the parent cell's DNA.
4. **4 Daughter Cells:** Each of the two daughter cells further divides, resulting in four daughter cells each containing a different combination of DNA than the original parent cell, with half the chromosome number.
