Summary
[edit]DescriptionNematode C. elegans Oocyte Meiotic Maturation and Egg Activation.jpg | Figure 1. Oocyte Meiotic Maturation and Egg Activation. The oocytes of most animal species arrest in meiotic prophase I (reviewed by Masui and Clarke, 1979; Masui, 2001). In response to a hormonal stimulus (1-methyladenine in starfish; progesterone in Xenopus; MSP in C. elegans), oocytes begin meiotic maturation: the nuclear envelope breaks down (GVBD), as the oocyte enters M-phase from prophase. The point of fertilization is species-specific. In the case of C. elegans (I) fertilization occurs after maturation but prior to completion of meiosis I. In C. elegans, fertilization is required for completing both meiotic divisions. For most insects (II), fertilization occurs at metaphase or anaphase I. In most vertebrates (III), fertilization occurs at metaphase II. Sea urchins complete meiosis before fertilization (IV). |
