Abstract
The normal course of meiosis can be interrupted in cultured mouse oocytes by exposre to low temperature (23 degrees C). Re-transfer of the oocytes to a 37 degrees C environment will permit the meiotic process to resume and progress as usual to second metaphase. However, a significant number of oocytes treated in this manner prove to contain abnormal numbers of chromosomes.Entities:
