The function of the M-phase checkpoint is to check that the microtubules of the mitotic spindle have attached to all of the kinetochores. If one or more chromosomes did not properly attach to the spindle, cells would most likely be arrested in ______________________.
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:
The function of the M-phase checkpoint is to check that the microtubules of the mitotic spindle have attached to all of the kinetochores. If one or more chromosomes did not properly attach to the spindle, cells would most likely be arrested in ______________________.

Cell division is a process of a parent cell replicating it chromosomal content and dividing itself into 2 daughter cells. Cell division is of two type mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis occurs in the stomatal cells, where meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells to produce gametes.
The 4 phases of mitosis are with an example of a major event that occurs in each are as follows,
Prophase- condensation of chromosomes
Metaphase- alignment of the chromosomes on the spindle fibres forming metaphase plate
Anaphase- ,moving of sister chromatids to the opposite poles
Telophase- reappearance or formation of the nucleolus.
