Stage of arrest is species dependent. Completion of meiosis happens after fertilization. Contact oocyte through desmosomes and gap junctions. Nutrients and other molecules passed into the oocyte from the follicle cells. Ring canals connect nurse cells and oocyte, the result of incomplete cytokinesis .
Material is transported from the nurse cells to the oocyte.
YOLK Nutrient is called the yolk , made up of glycogen, lipids and proteins. Amount and distribution vary greatly. Amount is usually related to the length of the developmental period supported by the the egg alone. As a consequence, in most species, enucleated fertilized egg can proceed through some cell cycles. Transcription is initially not necessary during early development .
