The directed movement of the oocyte nucleus from the extreme posterior of the cell to an asymmetric position in the anterior of the cell during the establishment and maintenance of the axes of the oocyte. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton polarization (sensu Insecta)

Establishment and maintenance of an axis of polarity of the oocyte microtubule network such that the minus and plus ends of the microtubules of the mid stage oocyte are positioned along the anterior cortex and at the posterior pole, respectively. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

The process of binding or confining iron ions in an intracellular area such that they are separated from other components of a biological system.

The synthesis, deposition, and organization of a cell of an ovary that can then undergo meiosis and form an ovum. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

The regulation of the levels, transport, and metabolism of zinc ions within a cell or between a cell and its external environment.

oocyte axis determination (sensu Insecta)

The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of an axis in the oocyte. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

The regulation of the levels, transport, and metabolism of sodium ions within a cell or between a cell and its external environment.

oocyte anterior/posterior axis determination (sensu Insecta)

Polarization of the oocyte along its anterior-posterior axis. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557). In Drosophila, for example, this relies on the correct targeting of bicoid (bcd) and oskar (osk) mRNAs to opposite poles of the oocyte (anterior and posterior, respectively).

Any process that modulates the volume of a cell.

Establishment of the specialized cytoplasm found at the poles of the insect egg. The posterior pole plasm is both necessary and sufficient for the formation of germ cells. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).
