Polar bodies are formed during:
Correct answer: C. Oogenesis
- A. Somatic hybridization
- B. Spermatogenesis
- C. Oogenesis
- D. Spermiogenesis
Explanation
Oogenesis is the process of producing ova (eggs) in the ovaries of females. During oogenesis, diploid oogonial cells undergo meiosis to form haploid eggs. Along with the formation of eggs, polar bodies are also produced. Polar bodies are small, non-functional cells that are generated during meiosis but do not develop into viable eggs. They are a byproduct of the unequal division of cytoplasm during oogenesis.
