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 matura…
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:

Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason why the blood clotting process is known as a cascade.

Introduction:

Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.
