Oocytes are arrested in the diplotene stage of prophase I to ensure accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis. This arrest allows for proper pairing and crossing over of homologous chromosomes, which are essential for genetic diversity. Resuming meiosis from diplotene ensures that the oocyte has the correct number of chromosomes for fertilization.
The synaptonemal complex disappears during the diplotene stage of meiosis. This dissolution marks the end of the physical connection between homologous chromosomes, allowing them to separate and continue with the process of meiosis.
Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis, specifically during the pachytene stage. This is when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation among the resulting gametes.

Oocytes are arrested in the prophase stage of meiosis I during their development.
The synaptonemal complex disappears during the diplotene stage of meiosis. This dissolution marks the end of the physical connection between homologous chromosomes, allowing them to separate and continue with the process of meiosis.
Diakinesis is the last stage of prophase during meiosis. Diplonema is the doubled form of the chromosome strand during the diplotene stage of meiosis.
Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis, specifically during the pachytene stage. This is when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation among the resulting gametes.
Diplotene stage of meiosis I phase
At the beginning of telophase I, each half of the cell has a complete haploid set of chromosomes, but each chromosome is still composed of two sister chromatids. Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously with telophase I, forming two haploid daughter cells. No chromosome replication occurs between the end of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II, as the chromosomes are already replicated. In telophase II, the nuclei form and the chromosomes begin decondensing. The meiotic division of one parent cell produces four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of (unreplicated) chromosomes.

Yes, it does, only it is called prophase 2 or prophase II.
