Question
After entry of sperm into cytoplasm of ovum which of the following event takes place?(a) Mitotic division of secondary oocyte(b) Meiotic division of primary oocyte(c) Mitotic division of secondary oocyte(d) Meiotic division of secondary oocyte
Step 1
The sperm's entry triggers the completion of the second meiotic division in the ovum, which was previously arrested at the metaphase stage of meiosis II. This results in the formation of a mature ovum and a second polar body. Show more…
