Question

how many polar bodies are found in oogenesis? 6 3 4 2

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In oogenesis (the process of egg cell formation), during meiosis, one primary oocyte undergoes two meiotic divisions. The first division produces one secondary oocyte and one polar body, and the second division of the secondary oocyte produces one ovum and one polar body, while the first polar body may also divide to form two polar bodies. In total, typically 3 polar bodies are formed (one from the first division and two from the division of the first polar body, or sometimes the first polar body does not divide, but the most common and standard answer for the number of polar bodies in oogenesis is 3).
