In oocytes, the diplotene can last for months or years, since at this stage:
1. DNA proof reading and excision repair is performed
2. The proteins for metabolism are re-formed
3. The chromosomes condense and engage in RNA synthesis
4. The cell is temporarily withdrawn from the cell cycle

Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:
| 1. | It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers |
| 2. | It requires two individuals that can support the progeny |
| 3. | It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction |
| 4. | It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive |

The most important significance of meiosis is that:
| 1. | It increases variations in the gene pool of the species that helps in evolution of that species. |
| 2. | It causes growth in the multicellular organisms. |
| 3. | It conserves specific number of chromosomes in each species across generations. |
| 4. | It is vital for repair and regeneration functions in the living organisms. |
