A secondary oocyte is arrested in the metaphase II phase of meiosis.
The secondary oocyte completes its second meiotic division upon fertilization by a sperm cell. This leads to the formation of a mature ovum and a polar body.
Oocytes are arrested in the prophase stage of meiosis I during their development.
No, there is no S phase after meiosis 1.
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
false
Any oogonia that has arrested itself in meiosis I prophase-dipotene on the onset of OMI (oocye maturation inhibition) hormone in the 3rd month of pregnancy and there after is a primary oocyte. On the urge of Leutinizing hormone which induces the pre-ovulatory phase, the primary oocyte completes meiosis I and arrests itself in meiosis II metaphase, which would only be completed if fertilization occurs, otherwise it will degenrate in 24 hours. On the completion of meiosis I, a SECONDARY oocyte and forst polar body is going to be formed.
The secondary oocyte completes its second meiotic division upon fertilization by a sperm cell. This leads to the formation of a mature ovum and a polar body.
Oocytes are arrested in the prophase stage of meiosis I during their development.
prophase1The first phase of meiosis is Prophase I
No, there is no S phase after meiosis 1.
prophase1The first phase of meiosis is Prophase I
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
false
The longest phase of meiosis is prophase I, which involves chromosome condensation, crossing over, and nuclear envelope breakdown. This phase can be subdivided into early, mid, and late stages, making it the most time-consuming phase in the process of meiosis.
During meiosis I, the phase where genetic DNA is copied is called the S phase (synthesis phase) of interphase, which occurs prior to meiosis. During this phase, the chromosomes replicate, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome. Meiosis I then proceeds with the separation of homologous chromosomes, but it does not involve further DNA replication.
no
it is the 2nd phase
