State
Oogenesis, unlike spermatogenesis per Bio 3333, produces one mature egg per cycle, unequal cytoplasmic division concentrating resources into the single surviving cell.
Show
Meiosis in oogenesis produces polar bodies alongside the egg, discarding most divided cytoplasm.
Watch for
The unequal division is not waste: it concentrates cytoplasm and stored nutrients into the one cell that must supply a zygote.
