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: -In Oogenesis there is only one ovum is produced due to unequal division of meiosis producing one haploid cell. Mature eggs are produced during female gametogenesis or oogenesis. Meiosis causes 4 haploid cells to divide into a single egg.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the total number of polar bodies formed are 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oogenesis starts with the process of developing primary oocytes, which occurs via the transformation of oogonia into primary oocytes, a process called oocytogenesis. From one single oogonium, only one mature oocyte will rise, with 3 other cells called polar bodies.
