1. A diploid cell in the male (spermatocyte) undergoes meiosis I and II and produces how many sperm? 2. A diploid cell in the female (oocyte) undergoes meiosis I and II and produces how many eggs? Be careful. Four cells result, but they combine to form how many eggs?

3. The three polar bodies never fully mature into eggs. They are absorbed into the largest cell. This gives the egg more nutrients to use if fertilized because it is a long journey from fertilization in the Fallopian tube until implantation in the uterus. Which cell is larger, the egg or the sperm cell?
