Oh no! A mutation in the gene for G2 CDK has caused a problem with binding of the G2 cyclin. This prevents formation of the MPF. What would this mean for cell division and why? Select one: a. The MPF is needed for anchorage dependence. So without the MPF, the cell cannot anchor to a substrate. b. Without the MPF, gene expression for enzymes of DNA replication will be halted stopping S phase of interphase but not stopping cell division.  c. Without the MPF, phosphates won't be added to the nuclear lamina so DNA will not be moved around the cell and cell division is effectively halted. d. Without the MPF, the APC will not add ubiquitin to the intermediate filaments of the nuclear lamina stopping cell division.

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:
