A cat has 38 total chromosomes (19 pairs). If one cell undergoes either mitosis or meiosis, identify the number of chromosomes and chromatids present in every phase of cell cycle. Also, indicate the total number of cells after each type of cell division.
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:
A cat has 38 total chromosomes (19 pairs). If one cell undergoes either mitosis or meiosis, identify the number of chromosomes and chromatids present in every phase of cell cycle. Also, indicate the total number of cells after each type of cell division.
