Concept explainers

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 matura…
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:
Question

Step 1

The chromosome is a thread-like structure that contains genetic material or protein synthesis information. In eukaryotes, chromosomes are present inside the nucleus. The chromosome is a strand of DNA that encoded genes. Human contains 46 chromosomes along with sex chromosomes i.e. XX, XY chromosomes. All chromosomes located in the nucleus.
