Question
Chapter 52, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Fertilization is the fusion of haploid male gamete (sperm) with haploid female gamete (ovum) that results in the formation of diploid zygote. Twins are the product of two offsprings from same zygote. Twins can be identical (monozygotic twins) or fraternal (dizygotic twins).

How do you expect Kartagener syndrome leads to infertility?
A. The lack of a plasma membrane means that pathogens and foreign substances can permeate the sperm and damage the DNA
B. The lack of microtubules mean the sperm do not have tails and cannot swim to fertilize the egg
C. The lack of dynein means that the sperm cannot bend their tails to swim and fertilize the egg

Is the genetic information found in the first polar body identical with that found in the secondary oocyte? Explain your answer. b. Is the genetic information found in the second polar body identical with that in the ovum? Explain your answer.
