Question

How many eggs are produced from a single secondary oocyte?

Answer 1

Secondary oocyte:

1. Secondary oocyte gives rise to the ovum or ootid.
2. It is produced in the tertiary follicle by the first meiotic division in the primary oocyte during oogenesis. The secondary oocyte is haploid.
3. The secondary oocyte undergoes a second meiotic division and produces one haploid ovum and the second polar body.
4. Therefore, one secondary oocyte gives rise to one egg.
