Extract

In most mammals, oocytes initiate meiosis in late fetal life; by the time of birthe they have already entered the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis and becaome arrested thereafter at the dictyate state(Baker, 1972). At this stage they became surrounded by a few nonproliferating flat follicle cells forming a unit called the resting or primordial follicle.
