Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ovum and its surrounding sac together make up a follicle. The ovary is the organ in which the follicle develops, but it is not the correct answer since it does not include the surrounding sac. A polar body is a small cell that is produced during meiosis and is not part of the ovum or follicle. The corpus luteum is a structure that forms from the remnants of the follicle after ovulation and is not the correct answer since it refers to a later stage of the process.
