what is the advantage of retaining the bulk of the nutrient rich cytoplasm of primary oocyte by secondary oocyte?

Solution

Dear student,

The secondary oocyte retains the bulk of the nutrient-rich cytoplasm of the primary oocyte because the secondary oocyte further develops into ovum that undergoes fertilization and formation of the zygote where the nutrition in bulk is required for healthy development and growth. Sperm only contains genetical material and does not provide nutrition to the zygote.

Regards
