In oogenesis, which of the following events occurs immediately following the completions of meiosis II?
High-Yield Explanation
The secondary oocyte is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II, and it will remain in this meiotic stage until feilization occurs. Following feilization, the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II, forming a mature ovum and a polar body. The nucleus of the mature ovum is called the female pronucleus, which fuses with the male pronucleus to form a zygote.
