Question
Chapter 36.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarity and dissimilarity between second polar body and an early spermatids.
Introduction:
The spermatids are the male gamete that is formed by the division of secondary spermatocytes that form a haploid gamete. Meiosis of spermatocytes results in the gametes with half genetic material from the primary cells, whereas 4 polar bodies formed from oogenesis and one of them further developed into the functional egg, other 3 polar bodies are the haploid cell which cannot be fertilized.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the alternation between fertilization and meiosis in sexually reproducing organism?
How does the role of meiosis in gamete production differ between organisms with a diploid-dominant life cycle and organisms with an alternation of generations life cycle?
How is the polar body formed in a way that the oocyte retains most of the cytoplasm? And how do thegamete recognition proteins interact with cell fusion proteins to allow the sperm to enter the egg?
