Suppose that after fusion the resultant diploid cell underwent mitotic cell division instead of meiotic cell division. What would be the major difference in how the chromosomes align prior to cell division? Briefly discuss how this alignment difference results in daughter cells generated by mitotic cell division being different from daughter cells generated by meiotic 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:
