|
the diploid mother cell.

|
Oogenesis - The oogonium divides to make
|
1 diploid primary oocytes. Before, birth meiosis I is stopped.

Oogenesis - Right before ovulation, meiosis I is resumed and the primary oocytes
|
divide to make haploid – secondary oocytes.
|
|
Oogenesis - During this division, one of the primary oocytes receives
|
the cytoplasm, while the other primary oocyte becomes a polar body (first polar body). The polar body is discarded and disintegrates.

Oogenesis - Division of the secondary oocyte is stopped until
|
fertilization.

Oogenesis - If fertilization does not occur, meiosis II
|
never finishes its division. Oogenesis - If fertilization occurs, meiosis II is completed
|
|
Oogenesis - As with primary oocytes, one of the cells receives
|
the cytoplasm and the other doesn’t, resulting in a second polar body
