these results suggest that the acquisition of meiotic competence ( i.e . the ability to undergo meiotic maturation ) during growth of the mammalian oocyte is due to changes in the quality , rather than the quantity , of cytoplasm and that the reprogramming of protein synthesis during meiotic maturation is directed by rna templates already present in the cytoplasm .
