In females, only a single ovum is formed from a germinal cell, whereas in males, more than one sperm is formed. Give reason. |

Answer» When meiosis occurs in the female germinal cell, a large ovum and three small cells are formed. The smaller cells are the polar bodies. These sterile cells get destroyed. So only a single ovum is formed from a germinal cell. But in males, after meiosis, four sperms having 23 chromosomes are formed form one germinal cell. |
