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 is the name of the cytoplasm division in the end of mitosis? What are the differences in this process between animal and plant cells?
Mitosis is a mode of cell division in which a cell divides into two cells.
Mitosis is divided into 4 phases-
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
Telophase is followed by cytokinesis in which cytoplasm divides and one cell divides into two cells.
The differences in cytokinesis between a plant cell and an animal cell are as follows-
| Plant cell | Animal cell | |
| 1. | It takes place by the formation of a cell plate. | It takes place by the fusion of the cell membrane. |
In a plant cell Golgi apparatus line up at the center and form a cell plate. This does not take place in an animal cell.
