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:
State the difference between chromosomes and chromatids.
Deoxy ribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material of most organisms that carry coded genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences. These sequences are essential for translation of proteins and they are passed to succeeding generations through successive reproduction.
