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 process that occurs during oogenesis involving the ovarian follicle cells, somatic cells which surround the germ cells of an ovary. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. 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 the eggshell, a product of the somatic follicle cell epithelium and a structure that supports the egg in a hostile environment, minimizing water loss whilst allowing gas exchanges essential for embryonic respiration. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. Construction of the chorion portion of the eggshell, which comprises the channels for gas exchange in an insect eggshell. The construction of a chorion-containing eggshell. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Construction of the vitelline membrane portion of a chorion-containing eggshell. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The regionalization process that gives rise to the structural pattern of a chorion-containing eggshell such as those found in insects.
