| Research Abstract |
Before spawning, maternal asters existing near GV are affected by soluble components of GV other than chromosomes during GVBD, and acquire the ability to form functional spindles. Then, spawned oocytes are fertilized at MI. Although centrosomes of sperm form sperm asters, they wait to participate in cell cycle events until oocyte meiosis is completed: They cannot form functional spindles during meiotic division of oocytes, because GV components have been dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. When oocytes are isolated from the ovaries and artificially inseminated before GVBD or MI, polyspermy occurs and sperm asters at the animal pole are affected by GV components during GVBD and form abnormal multi-polar spindles interacting with maternal chromosomes during MI and MII. Thus, both spawning and fertilization at MI are important for maturing oocytes to be protected from formation of abnormal multi-polar spindles by paternal centrosomes.
