What does it mean if a human female oocyte is no longer arrested in metaphase II of meiosis?
Solution
Answer:
Primary oocytes forms prenatally and remain suspended in prophase of meiosis I until it reaches
puberty. An oocyte completes meiosis I as its follicle matures resulting in a secondary oocyte
and the first polar body. After ovulation, each oocyte continues to meiosis II metaphase. Meiosis
II is completed only if fertilization occurs. This results in a fertilized mature ovum and the
second polar body.
Thus, the human female oocyte is arrested in metaphase II until fertilization by a sperm takes
place.
