Definition:
"Animals exhibit variations from control animals in the organization of the germ cell nuclei in the gonad that are in the diakinesis stage. In C. elegans the diakinesis region occurs in the proximal gonad arm and is preceded by the diplotene region. In the diakinesis region oocytes arrest until oocyte maturation occurs." [WB:
