To ensure the survival of the ovum, materials are taken from daughter cells during oogenesis. Because there are two divisions, there are four daughter cells. But only one cells is the ovum and the other three are not viable and die immediately. Those cells are called polar bodies.

How many daughter cell are produced when chromosomes undergo meiosis?

A total of four daughter cells are created during meiosis. There are two phases of meiosis, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. During meiosis 1 two daughter cells are created while during meiosis 2 four daughter cells are created.


Why do plants need meiosis?

Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells to form male and female gametes. For sexual reproduction meiosis is essential. Genetic advance is achieved by crossing over in chromosomes during meiosis, hence meiosis helps in evolution of races in plants.Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells to form male and female gametes.

Small cell formed and thens dies during meiosis in a female is?

A polar body. It is formed during the process of oogenesis when a primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to produce one egg cell and three polar bodies. The polar bodies are small cells that contain genetic material but eventually degenerate and are not fertilized.

What cells divide by meiosis to produce male and female spores?

In plants, meiosis occurs in specialized cells called sporophytes, which are diploid. These sporophyte cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores—male spores (microspores) in the anthers and female spores (megaspores) in the ovules. In fungi, similar processes occur where specialized diploid cells, known as sporogenous cells, divide by meiosis to produce spores.
