'female germ cell'
Equivalent to:
germ cell and capable of some oogenesis
This is not correct.
Germ cells are not capable of the full process of oogenesis. Development of an egg typically involves the active participation od somatic follicle cells which contribute material. In insects,the follicle cells also provide instructive signals required for a correctly patterned egg.
relationship: capable_of_part_of oogenesis could be added, but is not obviously useful.
