What is the Final Product After a Primary Oocyte Goes

Question

What is the final product after a primary oocyte goes through meiosis?
A) four secondary oocytes
B) three secondary oocytes and one polar body
C) two secondary oocytes and polar bodies
D) one secondary oocyte and polar bodies

Accepted Answer

After a primary oocyte goes through meiosis I, it produces one secondary oocyte and one polar body. The secondary oocyte then goes through meiosis II, resulting in one mature ovum and one polar body. Therefore, the final product after meiosis is one secondary oocyte (which later becomes the mature ovum) and one or more polar bodies.
