Mouse Meiotic Prophase I Stages
Representative immunofluorescence images showing synaptonemal complex 3 protein (Scp3) organization on nuclear spreads at different stages of meiotic prophase I made on cultured spermatogonia.
Scale bar, 10 µm.
Leptotene
- leptotene phase, leptonema; Greek, leptotene = "thin threads"
- the duplicated paired chromosome homologs condense.
Zygotene
- zygotene phase, zygonema, Greek, zygotene = "paired threads"
- homologous chromosomes become closely associated (synapsis) to form pairs of chromosomes consisting of four chromatids (tetrads).
- the synaptonemal complex begins to form between the two sets of sister chromatids in each bivalent (the duplicated chromosome paired with its homologous duplicated chromosome).
