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:
Cytokinesis in plant cells is different than cytokinesis in animal cells.
a) Explain why it has to be different, and
b) briefly describe the processes in the two different cell types.
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and is a subpart of a large process called cell division. Cell division is the complex process of equal separation of two cellular material in two regions which will later become two daughter cells. These two cells can be easily visualized under the microscope. It is assumed that the genetic material gets duplicated before the division and thus cell division can be called the division of duplicated macromolecular units.
