Maturation is complete when the secondmeioticdivisionis arrested at metaphase where the egg will await fertilisation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In conclusion, somatic cell nuclei are unable to go throughmeioticdivisionwhen introduced into oocyte meiotic cytoplasm, partly due to the abnormal kinetochore distribution.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These cells were able to complete their secondmeioticdivisionwithin the oocyte cytoplasm.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During this period the chromatin of the oocyte completes the secondmeioticdivisionand forms the female pronucleus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Most of the injected oocytes were at telophase of the secondmeioticdivision.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In all eutherian and marsupial species so far examined, the oocyte is ovulated after completing the firstmeioticdivisionat the first polar body stage.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Progesterone inducesmeioticdivisionin the amphibian oocytes by releasing lipid second messengers from the plasma membrane.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
However, its role inmeioticdivisionis still poorly documented, especially in the activation of mammalian oocytes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Human oocytes are released from the ovary at metaphase of the secondmeioticdivision, making direct karyotype analysis at that stage possible but technically difficult.
