Question

The second meiotic division is unequal and results in the formation of:

• A. First polar body and a diploid ovum
• B. Second polar body and a haploid ovum
• C. Second polar body and a diploid ovum
• D. First polar body and a haploid ovum

Answer 1

The correct option is B Second polar body and a haploid ovum

• The first meiotic division results in the formation of a haploid secondary oocyte and a first polar body.
• The second meiotic division is unequal and results in the formation of a second polar body and a haploid ovum (ootid). The haploid nucleus of the sperm and that of the ovum fuse together to form a diploid zygote.
