i would think they just sorta disappear. theres no use for them so...

∙ 9y agoAlthough 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.

∙ 12y agoIt's true that Polar Bodies becomes an egg. through the process of oogenesis, it produces 4 polar bodies, but unlike in spermatogenesis which produces sperm cellsthat all become functional... in oogenesis only one polar body becomes an egg and the other 3 disintigrade is that because it's always that only one polar will have enough cytoplasm to support itself.
* The egg produced in this process will be the one to be meet with the sperm to produce new individual.
YES.Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe polar bodies will generally degrade after oogenesis. The polar bodies don't have enough resources (cytoplasm) to make it all the way to a mature oocyte.
it is actually dies flippin numskull

∙ 12y agoNo - polar bodies are small, and contain little cytoplasm - they will eventually degrade.
In flowering plants, the polar bodies become endosperm after fertilization - which stores nutrients, but is not able to replace the embyro.

∙ 13y agothey are inactive and useless, so it doesn't matter. they're just broken down

∙ 11y agoyes, they have a haploid number of chromosomes

∙ 10y agoYes, it is false.

What is the name of the human female gamete?
ovum
What happens to the polar nuclei in an embryo sac?
Eggs
Facts about egg cells?
diploid pairs of chromosomes are separated so that each sex cell has only one of each pair of chromosomes (haploid). During the two successive meiotic divisions involved in the production of eggs, a primordial diploid egg cell is converted into a haploid egg and three small haploid polar bodies (minute cells). In this instance the egg receives far more cytoplasm than the polar bodies. This is what egg cells are ;)
What happens to the 4 haploid cells after meiosis?
Depends. In males all four cells become sperm. In females one becomes to oocyte while the other three become polar bodies that can provide some nutrients to the oocyte, or just dissipate depending on species.
How many mature eggs does each complete meiotic division yield?
1 mature egg. The remaining 3 cells produced by meiosis are non-functional and are called polar bodies. They are much smaller than the egg, i.e. the egg took all or their cytoplasm during the divisions
What are the 3 cells that don't become eggs at the end of meiosis called?
I believe they are called Polar Bodies.
What are immature eggs that developed in the ovum called?
polar bodies
At the end of oogenesis how many eggs are produced?
In humans 1 egg and 3 polar bodies
What do polar bears eggs look like?
Polar bears don't lay eggs.
Does a polar bear lay eggs or get pregnant?
A polar bear is a mammal, which gives birth to live young. No eggs.
Did the stegosaurus lay eggs inside their bodies?
No they did not lay eggs in their bodies they laid them on the ground and put them in a safe place
What is the name of the human female gamete?
ovum
How do polar bears lay their eggs?
Polar bears do not lay eggs: they give birth to live young, which is why they are called mammals, not birds or reptiles.
Where do polar bears lay their eggs?
Polar bears are mammals. Their eggs get as far as the womb (uterus), but don't get outside the body unless they are discarded due to being not fertilised. Basically no..polar bears don't lay eggs...they give live birth.
Do they hatch the baby polar bear?
Polar bears, like all other placental mammals, give birth to live young and do not lay eggs. Therefor, polar bears do not hatch out of eggs.
Do polar bears have live babies or lay eggs?
Polar bears give live birth.
What happens to the polar nuclei in an embryo sac?
Eggs
