The following image shows one specific stage of meiosis. Which of the following correctly states what is occurring in this stage?   A. Microtubules have begun to pull sister chromatids apart, pulling them toward the poles of the cells. There are two cells at this stage.   B. Microtubules have begun to pull homologous chromosomes apart, pulling them toward the poles of the cell. There is only one cell at this stage.   C. Microtubules have attached to the chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are aligned at the midpoint of the cell. There is only one cell at this stage.   D. The chromosomes have reached the poles of the cell. There are technically two cells, but cytokinesis has begun in each.

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:
