0 a type of cell division in which a cell divides into four cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell -- meiose
It is not understood how oocytes acquire meiotic competence during their growth phase to become competent to resume and complete meiosis.
As an oocyte grows, its diameter increases and the competence to complete meiosis also is improved.
Resumption of meiosis: mechanism involved in meiotic progression and its relation with developmental competence.
Function and characteristics of repetitive calcium waves associated with meiosis.
Note that after a renaming of the constitutive elements, the inclusion of the recombination step makes the whole process a canonical example of meiosis.
This allows for comparisons to be drawn between strains that are capable or incapable of undergoing meiosis, without the confounding effects of differences in ploidy.
In less well-spread preparations it was apparent that the triploids failed in meiosis.
Effect of prematuration, meiosis activating sterol and enriched maturation medium on the nuclear maturation and competence to development of calf oocytes.
