Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.
Explanation:
In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.
After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.
Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.
Answer:
A. to remove waste
Explanation:
The purpose of reproduction is to create offspring. Offspring will naturally carry the characteristics of the parents. When offspring are born they create the next generation and keep a species alive. The excretory system removes waste.
<span>Meiosis is the process of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half. During the process two phases (two nuclear divisions) occur: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is the phase of reduction and Meiosis II is the division. So, if a cell under a microscope shows two daughter cells and they aye haploid than this is the stage Meiosis II, in which the cell is divided into two daughter cells.</span><span />
