The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding what induces the second meiotic division of the secondary oocyte, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: The secondary oocyte is a stage in oogenesis that is arrested in metaphase II of meiosis until fertilization occurs. The completion of the second meiotic division is crucial for the formation of a mature ovum. 2. **Identifying the Trigger for Division**: The second meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is not completed until fertilization occurs. This is a key point in understanding what induces the meiotic division. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: Entry of sperms into the vagina - This does not directly induce the meiotic division; it is merely the first step in the fertilization process. - **Option 2**: Entry of sperms into the cytoplasm of the secondary oocyte - This is a significant event where the sperm penetrates the oocyte, leading to the initiation of the second meiotic division. - **Option 3**: After the fusion of sperm nucleus with the nucleus of secondary oocyte - While this is an important event in fertilization, the meiotic division is triggered before this fusion occurs. - **Option 4**: With the entry of secondary oocyte into the ampullary smooth zone - This does not directly relate to the meiotic division. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 2**: the entry of sperm into the cytoplasm of the secondary oocyte induces the second meiotic division. ### Final Answer: The second meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is induced by the entry of sperm into the cytoplasm of the secondary oocyte. ---
