(biology) The haploid cell, produced by meiotic division of a secondary oocyte, that is a nearly mature ovum..
Beyond the last of the oocytes, toward the lumen, are found numerous closely packed ootids, which have small pronuclei and are less basophilic than the smaller oocytes, due to the accumulated yolk in the cytoplasm.
This process, which now requires 45 min instead of the 20 min needed after hormone stimulation or MPF transfer does not correspond to the amplification of an eventual residual MPF present in the ootid.
