Prometaphase oocyte. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from an ovary,showing an oocyte in the prometaphase stage of cell division (mitosis). Oocytes are a stage in a process called oogenesis,the development of the female sex cell. This starts with mitosis within the female foetus,and then continues through stages of meiosis as the egg cell develops. Mitosis is a division of a cell into identical daughter cells. Meiosis differs in that the genetic information is mixed during division. Magnification: x460 when printed at 10 centimetres across | |
