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. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. Generation of the female gamete; specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and along with a male gamete takes part in sexual reproduction. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells derived from a single founder cell. 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 process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism. 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.
