One day before ovulation, an oocyte will complete meiosis 1, but instead of producing two equal cells it will produce a secondary oocyte and one tiny polar body that carries the second nucleus away to degenerate. The secondary oocyte will then begin the second phase of meiosis, however will stop at ( Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Prophase II, Telophase II ), only completing Meiosis II upon fertilisation via a sperm.
