Do oogenesis produce four functional egg cells from one cell?

Answer 1

A female produces only one functional egg cell because if a female produce four functional egg cell it means that the female will have four babies in her womb if the four lucky sperm cells reached the four functional egg cell. it says that theres only one lucky sperm cell for the egg cell so female produce only one functional egg cell.

Answer 2

Because an egg needs a large cytoplasm to feed the growing zygote. Hence during oogenesis an asymmetrical division occurs resulting in one mature ovum and three or two polar bodies. Each have a haploid number of chromosomes, and all can be fertilized by sperm. However only the relatively huge ovum will develop, after a fertilization event, into a zygote that will undergo rapid mitotic division (huge energy requirements feed by mitochondria/nutrients in the ovum's cytoplasm).

Answer 3

One because the cytoplasm remains with one oocyte. Generally the other cells become polar bodies, but not always.

Answer 4

1 egg in humans.

Answer 5

one functional gamete

Answer 6
