The question of growth. How do our cells know when to stop dividing? Our arms are generally the same size on both sides of the body. How is cell division so tightly regulated?
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:
Introduction:
Cell growth refers to the increase in cell size (mass accumulation),whereas cell division explains the splitting of a mother cell into two daughter cells The process of making more cells by cell division is known as cell proliferation. The cell cycle and the processes that control it are closely related to both cell division and growth.
