Those germ cells that enter meiosis become oocytes, the source of future eggs. Consequently, females are born with a finite number of oocytes arrested in the first meiotic prophase. Within the ...
Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A key difference, however, is that during meiosis, each of these phases occurs twice — once ...

Discovery of an atypical heat shock factor, HSF5, involved in meiotic mechanisms has implications for male infertilityIn a previous study, the team identified a meiosis switch gene MEIOSIN ... showed that HSF5 plays an essential role in the meiotic prophase progression in male germ cells under non-stress conditions.
As in prophase I, the chromosomes condense, spindles form, the centrioles begin to separate, and the nuclear membrane fragments and disperses. Unlike prophase I, the chromosomes do not attach to ...
The long-range objectives of our research are to understand the mechanism of meiotic recombination and to determine how this process is coordinated with other events of meiotic prophase ... Most of ...
