Research a disease or defect that occurs in one of the stages of meiosis (cancer, Down Syndrome, non-disjunction, etc) Address the following: What changes occur during meiosis that lead to or are caused by this disease? Make sure you highlight the changes that occur during whichever specific stage of meiosis is disrupted vs what would normally happen. Is there currently any way to treat it? At what point in time can you determine if this disease is present? How?

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:
