Epigenetic changes that occur during meiosis in male and female gametogenesis
Different epigenetic changes occur at different times in meiosis depending on whether the germ cells are male or female. The dashed lines represent lower levels of specific modifications than those shown with solid lines. FG, fully grown; MI, metaphase I; MII, metaphase II; NG, nongrowing; PGC, primordial germ cell.
