PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Polar bodies serve to eliminate one half of the diploid chromosome set produced by meiotic division in the egg, leaving behind a haploid cell. To produce the polar bodies, the cell must divide asymmetrically, which is fueled by furrowing (formation of a trench) near a particular point on the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar bodies are very small and haploid cells that can not undergo fertilization. All the cytoplasm is segregated into one daughter cell that becomes the egg or ovum. The other polar bodies with a small amount of cytoplasm will usually die and disintegrate by apoptosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The second polar body (haploid) fuses with the haploid oocyte pronucleus; 2. The second polar body (haploid) fuses with a haploid daughter nucleus from division of the first polar body (diploid); 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, one ovum and three polar bodies are formed after one oogenesis cycle.
