The 14 pages that link to Oocyte, each with the reason it gives.

• ZygoteCompared with: An oocyte is an unfertilized precursor, not the cell formed by fertilization.

• OvulationBroader topic: The cell released at ovulation is a secondary oocyte, not a fully mature ovum.

• OogenesisBroader topic: The oocyte is the cell that grows and undergoes meiosis during oogenesis.

• Mitochondrial inheritanceRelated: The egg supplies nearly all mitochondria to a human embryo.

• SpermatozoonCompared with: Unlike the small, motile spermatozoon, the oocyte is large and generally immobile.

• Cleavage (embryology)Narrower topic: Cleavage begins after fertilization of the oocyte, whose size constrains early divisions.

• OvaryBroader topic: The ovarian egg is an oocyte at a stage of its development.

• Somatic cell nuclear transferNarrower topic: An oocyte supplies the cytoplasm that reprograms the transferred nucleus.

• Ovarian follicleBroader topic: The oocyte is the egg cell housed and supported by the follicle.

• Fallopian tubeRelated: The tube receives and transports the oocyte released at ovulation.

• John GurdonRelated: The egg cell’s cytoplasm supplied the environment that reprogrammed transplanted nuclei.

• Robert EdwardsRelated: Edwards studied how human oocytes mature before they can be fertilized.

• Ian WilmutRelated: An enucleated oocyte supplied the cellular environment for Dolly’s transferred nucleus.

• Human fertilizationBroader topic: The human cell typically fertilized is a secondary oocyte arrested in meiosis.
