Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During meiosis in the female reproductive system, the cytoplasm divides unequally, resulting in the formation of a secondary oocyte and a smaller polar body. The polar body eventually disintegrates, while the secondary oocyte can potentially be fertilized by a sperm cell. Therefore, the correct answer is C, polar body. A is incorrect because an oocyte is a developing egg cell prior to ovulation. B is incorrect because a primordial follicle is a developing structure that contains an immature egg cell (oocyte) and supporting cells.
