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: -The first polar body may divide to form two second polar bodies. 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: -Assertion :Mainly two polar bodies are released during each oogenesis in human Reason: One primary oocyte form two ova.

Detailed explanation-3: -The smaller cell is called the first polar body, and the larger cell is referred to as the secondary oocyte. During the second division of meiosis, a similar unequal cytokinesis takes place. Most of the cytoplasm is retained by the mature egg (ovum), and a second polar body receives little more than a haploid nucleus.
