The garden pea (Pisum sativum) is normally a diploid and has 7 chromosomes in one set (in other words, n = 7). Use this information to answer the following questions: a. How many centromeres would be in a cell of a tetraploid pea plant? ______ b. How many total chromatids would be in a cell of a tetraploid pea plant in metaphase of mitosis? _______ c. How many total chromosomes would be in a cell of a pea plant that is monosomic for a single chromosome?
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:
