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:
What happens in each phase of mitosis, and how can I remember?
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis is also known as cell duplication or reproduction. Thus the process of mitosis involves the formation of duplicate chromosomes due to cell division. Before the incidence of mitosis, chromosomal replication occurs and the proteins that synthesize the spindle fibers are also formed.
