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 developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The 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 melanogaster. Construction of a stage-1 egg chamber in the anterior part of the germarium, from the progeny of germ-line and somatic stem cells. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells derived from a single founder cell. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells, in the female gonad, derived from a single founder cell. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells, in the germarium, derived from a single founder cell (cystoblast). An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The four rounds of incomplete mitosis undergone by a cystoblast derived from the germarium to form a 16-cell cyst. Within the cyst, one cell differentiates into an oocyte while the rest become nurse cells. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
