A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of a pattern along a line or around a point. The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of the anterior/posterior axis. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism. Any process by which bicoid mRNA is transported to and maintained within the oocyte as part of the specification of the anterior/posterior axis. Establishment of the specialized cytoplasm found at the poles of the egg. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The specification of the anterior/posterior axis of the embryo by gradients of maternally-transcribed gene products; exemplified in insects by the morphogens, bicoid and nanos. Polarization of the oocyte along its anterior-posterior axis. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The synthesis, deposition, and organization of the materials in a cell of an ovary; where the cell can then undergo meiosis and form an ovum. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of an axis in the oocyte. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The specification of the anterior/posterior axis of the embryo by the products of genes expressed maternally and genes expressed in the zygote. The regionalization process by which specific areas of cell differentiation are determined along the anterior-posterior axis. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.
