What is contained within the polar body?
A polar body is a small haploid cell that is formed concomitantly as an egg cell during oogenesis, but which generally does not have the ability to be fertilized.When certain diploid cells in animals undergo cytokinesis after meiosis to produce egg cells, they sometimes divide unevenly.herefore, the formation of the first polar body is an especially important factor in forming a healthy zygote. However, chromosomally abnormal polar bodies are not guaranteed to induce the development of an abnormal zygote.
