AmiGO 2: Term Details for "polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions" (GO:0040038)

Accession: GO:0040038
Name: polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The cell cycle process in which two small cells are generated, as byproducts destined to degenerate, as a result of the first and second meiotic divisions of a primary oocyte during its development to a mature ovum. One polar body is formed in the first division of meiosis and the other in the second division; at each division, the cytoplasm divides unequally, so that the polar body is of much smaller size than the developing oocyte. At the second division in which a polar body is formed, the polar body and the developing oocyte each contain a haploid set of chromosomes. Source: GOC:ems, ISBN:0198506732
