Complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell; examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanomas
Oogenesis () or ovogenesis is female gametogenesis, the development of the egg cell (ovum) from the oogonium to a primary oocyte, and secondary oocyte. The egg cell is a cell that is competent to further develop when fertilized. Oogenesis is initiated during early embryonic development.
