Question

The division of primary oocyte into the secondary oocyte and first polar body is an example of _______

• A. symmetric division
• B. asymmetric division
• C. Cell death
• D. asexual reproduction

Answer 1

Answer:

B. asymmetric division

Asymmetric division refers to the unequal distribution of cytoplasm between the daughter cells. Primary oocyte undergoes the first round of meiosis, producing a large haploid secondary oocyte and a tiny first polar body. Thus this is an instance of asymmetric division.
