All of the following make meiosis different from mitosis EXCEPT O chromosome number is reduced by half in melasis. O meiosis comprises two divisions. O pairing of homologous chromosomes usualy only occurs in melosis. resulting cells from meiosis are genetically different from the parent cell. O meiosis lacks a preceding S phase.
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:
2 types of cell division is seen in nature; meiosis and mitosis. Mitosis is undertaken by somatic or vegetative cells in lifeforms while meiosis is undertaken by parent germ cells to produce gamete cells.
