During oogenesis, a diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce a single haploid egg cell. Oogenesis involves the growth and maturation of the egg cell within the ovaries, along with the process of meiosis to reduce the chromosome number. It also includes the formation of polar bodies, which are smaller cells that contain extra genetic material and are eventually discarded.
