- diakinesis progression during oogenesis variant
Developing oocytes show defects in their entry, progression through or exit from the diakinesis stage compared to control animals. Diakinesis is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the final stage of prophase I in meiosis; the transition to meiotic metaphase I.
- body wall muscle actin organization defective
The characteristic organization of actin filaments into I-bands is disrupted. In C. elegans, actin filaments no longer appear as thin continuous longitudinal stripes along the muscle quadrants.
- homolog association variant
The association of homologs during diakinesis and the maintenance of their association through meiosis I as well as the preservation of centromeric cohesin between sister chromatids does not proceed as it does in control animals.
- oocyte meiotic maturation variant
Variations in the progression of a developing oocyte, from diakinesis to metaphase (meiosis I), in response to a signal compared to control animals. Meiotic maturation is accompanied by nuclear envelope breakdown (germinal vesicle breakdown), cytoskeletal rearrangement and meiotic spindle assembly.
- diplotene absent during oogenesis
The diplotene stage is not observed in developing oocytes. Diplotene is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the fourth stage of prophase I in meiosis, in which the homologous chromosomes begin to separate and the synaptonemal complex dissolves.
- diplotene progression during oogenesis variant
Developing oocytes show defects in their entry, progression through or exit from the diplotene stage compared to control animals. Diplotene is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the fourth stage of prophase I in meiosis, in which the homologous chromosomes begin to separate and the synaptonemal complex dissolves.
- pachytene progression during oogenesis variant
Developing oocytes show defects in their entry, progression through or exit from the pachytene stage compared to control animals. Pachytene is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the third stage of prophase I in meiosis, in which crossing over occurs between a chromatid in one partner and another chromatid in the homologous chromosome.
