Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only the secondary oocyte is capable of being fertilized and producing a zygote. The primordial follicle is too immature and the mature follicle has already released its secondary oocyte during ovulation. The primary oocyte is arrested in prophase I of meiosis until puberty and the polar body is a byproduct of meiosis that does not have the ability to be fertilized.
