MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of meiosis, only one egg is generated from four haploid cells. The primary oocyte undergoes the first meiotic division, resulting in the formation of a secondary oocyte (haploid). A second meiosis division occurs in secondary oocytes, resulting in a haploid ovum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Notice only one mature ovum, or egg, forms during meiosis from the primary oocyte. Three polar bodies may form during oogenesis. These polar bodies will not form mature gametes. Conversely, four haploid spermatids form during meiosis from the primary spermatocyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maturation into ovum Both polar bodies disintegrate at the end of Meiosis II, leaving only the ootid, which then eventually undergoes maturation into a mature ovum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is a conserved cell division process that is used by sexually reproducing organisms to generate haploid gametes. Males and females produce different end products of meiosis: eggs (females) and sperm (males).
