Meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is completed:
At the time of copulation
After zygote formation
At the time of fusion of a sperm with an ovum
Prior to ovulation
To solve this problem, we need to determine when the meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is completed. Let's analyze the process of oocyte development:The primary oocyte undergoes the first meiotic division to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body. This division is completed before ovulation.The secondary oocyte is arrested in metaphase II of meiosis and is released during ovulation.The completion of the second meiotic division occurs only if the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm.Upon fertilization, the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II, resulting in the formation of an ovum and a second polar body.Therefore, the meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is completed at the time of fusion of a sperm with an ovum.This corresponds to Option 3.
