The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Oogenesis**: Oogenesis is the process of egg (ovum) formation in females. It begins in the fetal ovary and involves several stages, including the formation of primary oocytes. 2. **Primary Oocyte Formation**: At birth, females have a large number of primary oocytes, which are arrested in the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis. This means they are not yet fully developed into eggs. 3. **First Meiotic Division**: During each menstrual cycle, a primary oocyte completes its first meiotic division, resulting in a secondary oocyte and a first polar body. The polar body is a small cell that typically degenerates. 4. **Secondary Oocyte and Fertilization**: The secondary oocyte is released during ovulation. If fertilization occurs, the secondary oocyte will undergo the second meiotic division. 5. **Second Meiotic Division**: The second meiotic division of the secondary oocyte results in two cells: - **A (Ootid)**: This is the mature egg (ovum) that has a haploid nucleus. - **B (Second Polar Body)**: This is a smaller cell that is also haploid and usually degenerates. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, after the completion of the second meiotic division of the secondary oocyte, we have: - A = Ootid (the mature egg) - B = Second Polar Body (haploid) ---
