A single primary oocyte produces how many functional egg cells after meiosis?
AFour eggs (similar to spermatogenesis)
BOne egg (plus 3 polar bodies)
CTwo eggs (one per meiotic division)
DZero eggs (it remains a primary oocyte forever)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. One egg (plus 3 polar bodies)
In oogenesis, meiosis produces ONE functional egg + 3 polar bodies (which die). Unlike spermatogenesis (4 sperms), the cytoplasm is unequally divided so the egg gets the bulk.
