Eggs are produced from progenitor oocytes through meiotic cell division. Fidelity of meiosis is critical for healthy embryogenesis - fertilisation of aneuploid eggs that contain the wrong number of chromosomes is a leading cause of genetic disorders including Down's syndrome, human embryo deaths and infertility.
