Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polar body is a nonviable cell produced during oogenesis as a result of uneven cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm divides unequally during the first meiotic division. The primary function of polar bodies is to discard the extra genetic material and provide nutrients to the viable ovum. The ovum, or the matured and fertilizable egg, is the goal of oogenesis. The follicle is the structure that houses the ovum and releases it during ovulation. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland that secretes hormonal support for the early stages of pregnancy.
