Question

A person with tetraploidy will have _______ set of chromosomes in their first polar body.

• A. haploid
• B. triploid
• C. diploid
• D. polyploid

Answer 1

Answer:

C. diploid

Oogenesis is the production of a haploid secondary oocyte from a diploid oogonium and in the process resulting in the production of two polar bodies, each of which is haploid. Naturally, a tetraploid person having tetraploid oogonia will produce diploid polar bodies and a diploid oocyte.
