The major difference between the two is the amount of cytoplasm. The polar bodies have a lot less cytoplasm than an ovum has.

What is the size of a polar body?
a polar body is A small cell (which eventually disintegrates) that is the by-product of meiosis in female animals. One functional ovum and potentially three polar bodies result from meiosis of each primary oocyte. By:hyden 252-1079 im bored
What are immature eggs that developed in the ovum called?
polar bodies
During which type of gametogenesis would you see polar bodies?
oogenesisMeiosis I and Meiosis IIPolar Body are porduced in the process of Egg or ovum (female Side).
What is the name of the human female gamete?
ovum
During cytokinesis in a female what divides unequally?
The oocyte (immature ovum or egg). It produces a secondary oocyte (large, lots of cytoplasm) and a polar body (small, does not survive).
Why do polar bodies form during oogenesis?
When an ovum is initially formed by the normal process of cell division, it is diploid. In order to become a gamete that can engage in sexual reproduction, it needs to become haploid. In order to do that it has to rid itself of half of its genetic material, which it does by ejecting it in the form of a polar body. Note that it is not feasible for the ovum to simply become two ova, because that would give you half sized ova, and reproduction works better with a full sized ovum.
What are eggs in the human body?
ovum
How many egg cells come form a female germ cell?
One primary oocyte divides by meiosis and produces one polar body and one secondary oocyte. The polar body goes on to produce two more polar bodies, and the secondary oocyte divides into one polar body and one ovum. Therefore, one cell is produced from one primary oocyte.
What are the four final cell types produced by oogenesis in the female?
Generally, one viable ovum(egg) is produced, while the other three cells degenerate into 'polar bodies' and are recycled by the body.
What is the body's largest single cell?
For the human body, the female ovum.
How does the gametes process differ between men and women?
Men = sperm Women = ovum (egg)
How does a polar covalent bond differ from a covalent bond?
Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.
