Question

does the first polar body born out of first meiotic division divide further or degenerate.?

Answer 1

sometimes but whether it is divided or not, it degenerates later on.

Answer 2

Answer:this is due to cytokinesis.

Explanation:

As cytokinesis occurs improperly.

Large amount of cytoplasm goes to secondary oocyte.

Negligible amount of cytoplasm in polar body.

As polar body has negligible amount of cytoplasm, less nourishment to the polar body.

So polar body degenerates.
