In oogenesis, which of the following events occurs immediately following the completions of meiosis II?
Correct Answer: Formation of a female pronucleus
Description: The secondary oocyte is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II, and it will remain in this meiotic stage until feilization occurs. Following feilization, the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II, forming a mature ovum and a polar body. The nucleus of the mature ovum is called the female pronucleus, which fuses with the male pronucleus to form a zygote.
