| germarium-derived cystoblast division |
The four rounds of incomplete mitosis undergone by a cystoblast to form a 16-cell cyst of interconnected cells within a germarium. 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. |

| germarium-derived oocyte fate determination |
The cell fate determination process in which a germarium-derived cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an oocyte cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. |
| intracellular mRNA localization |
Any process in which mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location within the cell. |
| intracellular protein transport |
The directed movement of proteins in a cell, including the movement of proteins between specific compartments or structures within a cell, such as organelles of a eukaryotic cell. |
| kinetochore organization |
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the kinetochore, a multisubunit complex that is located at the centromeric region of DNA and provides an attachment point for the spindle microtubules. |
| microtubule organizing center organization |
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a microtubule organizing center, a structure from which microtubules grow. |
| microtubule sliding |
The movement of one microtubule along another microtubule. |
| muscle cell cellular homeostasis |
The cellular homeostatic process that preserves a muscle cell in a stable functional or structural state. |
| mushroom body development |
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the mushroom body over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The mushroom body is composed of the prominent neuropil structures of the insect central brain, thought to be crucial for olfactory associated learning. These consist mainly of a bulbous calyx and tightly packaged arrays of thin parallel fibers of the Kenyon cells. |
| neuroblast proliferation |
The expansion of a neuroblast population by cell division. A neuroblast is any cell that will divide and give rise to a neuron. |
| nuclear migration |
The directed movement of the nucleus to a specific location within a cell. |
| nuclear migration along microtubule |
The directed movement of the nucleus along microtubules within the cell, mediated by motor proteins. |
| nucleus localization |
Any process in which the nucleus is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within the cell. |
| oocyte fate determination |
The process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an oocyte cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. |
| oocyte nucleus migration involved in oocyte dorsal/ventral axis specification |
The directed movement of the oocyte nucleus within the cell as part of the establishment and maintenance of the dorsal/ventral axis of the oocyte. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. |

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. |
| ovarian fusome organization |
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the fusome of ovarian cells, an organelle derived from the spectrosome.

| photoreceptor cell axon guidance |
The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of a photoreceptor cell axon growth cone to its target in the optic lobe in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. |
| positive regulation of axonogenesis |

| positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of BMP signaling pathway activity. |
| positive regulation of mitotic metaphase/anaphase transition |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the cell cycle process in which a cell progresses from metaphase to anaphase during mitosis, triggered by the activation of the anaphase promoting complex by Cdc20/Sleepy homolog which results in the degradation of Securin. |

The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form the spindle, the array of microtubules and associated molecules that serves to move duplicated chromosomes apart. |
| stem cell population maintenance |
The process by which an organism or tissue maintains a population of stem cells of a single type. This can be achieved by a number of mechanisms: stem cell asymmetric division maintains stem cell numbers; stem cell symmetric division increases them; maintenance of a stem cell niche maintains the conditions for commitment to the stem cell fate for some types of stem cell; stem cells may arise de novo from other cell types. |
| transport along microtubule |
The movement of organelles or other particles from one location in the cell to another along microtubules, driven by motor activity. |
| vesicle transport along microtubule |
The directed movement of a vesicle along a microtubule, mediated by motor proteins. This process begins with the attachment of a vesicle to a microtubule, and ends when the vesicle reaches its final destination. |
