During the first prophase of meiosis I, there are five sub-stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis.

Results from our forumRBC... i meant in the case of the oocyte was, that during division the transcribtion is halted and since the primary oocyte stops at the middle of it (diplotene stage) proteine production shoud be stopped as well.. so the same problem as in RBC - how it can survive for years withouth protein production

RBC... to transcribe RNA for protein production (they need new proteins.. to repair etc. right?). And similarly when primary oocyte stops its division at diplotene stage is it capable of transcribtion? if not, how it creates RNA and proteins?

cell division... genetic material between synapsed homologous chromosomes. mitosis - does not occur meiosis - occurs at pachytene of prophase I (first visible at diplotene) 5. Timing of division of centromeres. mitosis - occurs at anaphase meiosis - occurs at anaphase II but not at anaphase I 6. Genetic variation. ...
