Question

Meiotic arrest occurs both in oogenesis and spermatogenesis

Answer 1

This results in a secondary oocyte, which will complete meiosis if it is fertilized. The cell starting meiosis is called a primary oocyte. This cell will begin the first meiotic division, but be arrested in its progress in the first prophase stage. ... A secondary meiotic arrest occurs, this time at the metaphase II stage.
