C- and D-telomere clustering and resolution in Rb5, RBF, and WT BALB/c mouse oocytes. (a) Representative images showing four types of telomere clustering in RBF oocytes. Telomere clusters are indicated by white broken line circles. RbT-centromeres are marked with arrowheads. Scale bar 10 μm. (b) Percentages of oocytes having each type of telomere clusters at progressive MPI substages. The total number of examined oocytes is given on the top of each column. Four females were examined in each strain. *Significant difference between RBF and WT or Rb5 oocytes at P < 0.05 by χ2-test.
