Fig. 1. Centrosomal behaviour during normal meiosis of a starfish oocyte, based on the experimental results by Tamura and Nemoto (Tamura and Nemoto, 2001) and Uetake et al. (Uetake et al. 2002). (A) Fully-grown immature oocyte with the germinal vesicle (GV). (B) Metaphase I. (C) The first polar body (PB1) extruded. (D) Metaphase II. (E) The second polar body (PB2) extruded. The pronucleus (PN) formed. Solid rectangles are reproductive centrioles. Open rectangles are centrioles destined to decay after completion of meiosis. Gray rectangles in A and B are centrioles to be characterized in the present study.
