Although the polar bodies do not become anything they do serve a purpose in reproduction/oogenesis.
The polar bodies are the byproducts of the primary and secondary oocyte at each point of meiotic division in oogenesis. The polar body allows for the oocyte to get rid of chromosomes while at the same time taking the least amount of resources (cytoplasm) from the oocyte. Each meiotic division serves as a means of moving the oocyte toward its need haploid number of chromosomes for fertilization. So you could say that the polar bodies function as a means of cellular structure conservation. They help ensure that the oocyte remains nutrient/resource rich while at the same time helping the oocyte reach its haploid number.

Is it false that polar bodies go on to become eggs?
i would think they just sorta disappear. theres no use for them so...
What is the product of spermatogenesis?
The final products of spermetagenesis are 16 spermatids and end products of oogenesis are 1 ovum and 3 polar bodies.
What are the products of oogenesis?
They are not. Oogenesis in its final stage has 4 parts, the egg or ovum, and 3 polar bodies These polar bodies do nothing but reduce the diploid cells to haploid cells (or reduce DNA). This will maximize the nutrients that go into the ovum
What is the fate of the three tiny cells produced during oogenesis?
They die and very quickly and this is because the embryo needs as much cytoplasm as it can get, so the cytoplasm from the polar bodies is taken from them, moved to the embryo and after that they soon deteriorate.
What is the fate of the three tiny cells produced during oogenesis and why?
In order to increase genetic variance both egg and sperm undergo meiosis, which results in 4 cells. In oogenesis most of the cells cytoplasm is conserved by one cell known as the ovum. This increases the chance of fertilization and survival of the egg. The remaining three cells are the byproducts of meiosis and are known as polar bodies. They are eventually degraded.
Which process result in the production of polar bodies?
oogenesis
Final product of oogenesis is one?
The final product in oogenesis is one egg and three polar bodies.
What are the 3 other products of meiosis called?
The products of meiosis, besides the daughter cells, are polar bodies. In oogenesis, the polar bodies are called primary nuceli and secondary nuclei respectively.
The final product of oogenesis is one?
The cellular product of spermatogenesis is four spermatids. The final product of oogenesis is one ovum and three polar bodies.
At the end of oogenesis how many eggs are produced?
In humans 1 egg and 3 polar bodies
What happens during oogenesis?
During oogenesis, the cytoplasm is divided UNEVENLY so that only one mature egg is produced along with three polar bodies.
During oogenesis the cytoplasm is divided evenly so that only one mature egg is produced along with three?
polar bodies
Is it false that polar bodies go on to become eggs?

How many egg cells are produced in gametogenesis?
Also called oogenesis, there is only 1 formed and 3 polar bodies which are destroyed by the body
Why is a polar body unable to support development of the embryo?
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 is the advantage of ova production resulting in one egg and three polar bodies?
Oogenesis - which is the female form of gametogenesis.
What is the product of spermatogenesis?
The final products of spermetagenesis are 16 spermatids and end products of oogenesis are 1 ovum and 3 polar bodies.
