Answer» RIGHT choice is (a) True Easiest explanation: Secondary oocyte is formed after the first ROUND of meiosis and thus has a haploid SET of chromosomes i.e., 23 chromosomes. But each chromosome has two daughter chromatids, thus making a total of 46 chromatids. Ova are formed after the second round of meiosis, and each ovum gets a SINGLE chromatid, thus having a total of 23 chromatids. |
