Polar bodies are not fertilized because they are formed within the ovary as a by product of meiosis. It is the body's way of eliminating the extra chromosomes during oogenesis. These polar bodies never make it out of the ovary into the fallopian tube where the sperm meets up with the egg.

What would happen if a polar body was to be fertilized by a sperm cell?

A polar body is a remnant of the production of egg cells, and is potentially capable of being fertilized. While a fertilized polar body could begin growing, there's usually not enough stored nutrients in it to feed the developing embryo.


Assume a sperm has penetrated a polar body and their nuclei fuse Why would it be unlikely for the resulting cell to develop into a healthy embryo?

The presence of a sperm penetrating a polar body suggests an abnormal fertilization event, as polar bodies typically do not contain a full set of chromosomes needed for normal development. Therefore, the resulting cell would likely have an incorrect number of chromosomes, leading to genetic abnormalities that would prevent the development of a healthy embryo.


Assume a sperm has penetrated a polar body and their nuclei fuse why is it unlikely that the resulting cell will form a healthy embryo?

The resulting cell would have an incorrect number of chromosomes, leading to aneuploidy. This imbalance in genetic material can disrupt normal development and result in an unhealthy embryo that is unlikely to survive.


What can water do if it wasent a polar molecule?

If water would be a non polar molecule all the life chemistry would be changed or would not be possible. This non polar liquid would be unable to be a quasi-universal solvent.


Why are Polar molecules unable to go across unless?

Polar molecules are unable to easily cross biological membranes because the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic, repelling the polar molecules. This prevents them from passing through via simple diffusion. To overcome this barrier, polar molecules usually require the assistance of specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.

Would the separation of an egg and it's polar body soon after fertilization harm the development of an embryo?

No, the separation of an egg and its polar body after fertilization does not typically harm the development of the embryo. The polar body is a byproduct of egg cell division and its removal does not affect the genetic material necessary for embryo development.

What happens to the polar nuclei in an embryo sac?

The polar nuclei in an embryo sac are involved in the process of double fertilization in plants. One of the polar nuclei fuses with a sperm cell, leading to the formation of endosperm tissue, while the other polar nucleus may fuse with another sperm cell or remain unfertilized. The endosperm provides nutrients for the developing embryo in seeds.

Among coelomates in which of these does development occur by radial cleavage and the anus forms before the mouth?

Animals with deuterostome development exhibit radial cleavage, where the cells divide parallel or perpendicular to the polar axis of the embryo. In deuterostomes, such as echinoderms and chordates, the anus forms before the mouth during embryonic development.


How are the embryo and the endosperm formed?

The embryo is formed through fertilization of the egg cell by the sperm cell. This union creates a zygote that develops into the embryo. The endosperm, on the other hand, is formed through the fusion of a sperm cell with two polar nuclei in the embryo sac of a plant.


What are unusable egg cells called?

Unfertilized egg is called an Oocyte. In a fertilized egg is called a Zygote.


How can we love polar bears?

By visiting to see them at locals zoos, and showing support for them by supporting wild-life reservations which support polar bears.


Why must polar bodies die?

Polar bodies are produced during the process of oogenesis to ensure that the developing egg cell receives most of the cytoplasm and organelles needed for successful fertilization and embryo development. The polar bodies contain a small amount of genetic material and are not needed for reproduction, so they typically undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) to recycle their resources for the benefit of the viable egg cell.
