In oocytes, the diplotene can last for months or years, since at this stage:
1. DNA proof reading and excision repair is performed
2. The proteins for metabolism are re-formed
3. The chromosomes condense and engage in RNA synthesis
4. The cell is temporarily withdrawn from the cell cycle

Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:
1. It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers
2. It requires two individuals that can support the progeny
3. It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction
4. It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive
