Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Oogenesis results in the formation of:
A
1 ovum; 2 polar bodies
B
2 ova; 2 polar bodies
C
1 ovum; 3 secondary oocytes
D
4 ova
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On further division(meiosis II), secondary oocytes again form a mature ovum and one polar body. Therefore, one ovum and three polar bodies are formed after one oogenesis cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar bodies are created during oogenesis by meiosis I and II. In oogenesis, the primary oocyte is divided meiotically into the secondary oocyte and polar body, and then the polar body undergoes meiosis II to produce two polar bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes.” Oogenesis is the type of gametogenesis through which ova, also called the female gametes are formed and the produced female gamete is known as an ovum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oogenesis and Spermatogenesis Notice only one mature ovum, or egg, forms during meiosis from the primary oocyte. Three polar bodies may form during oogenesis.
