Figure 3From: Apoptosis in mouse fetal and neonatal oocytes during meiotic prophase oneThe proportions of fetal mouse oocytes in different stages of meiotic prophase I between 14.5 and 21 days post coitum. Note, two waves of zygotene peaking on 15.5 and 18 dpc, followed by two waves of pachytene on 17 and 20 dpc. Note also the persistence of some pre-diplotene stages of oocytes until day 21, two days after birth.Back to article page
