Question

In cellular division, one cell gives rise to two daughter cells containing equal volume. However such a case of regular division is not observed in ________________

(a) White blood cells

(b) Liver cells

(c) Oocytes

(d) Red blood cells

The question was posed to me at a job interview.

My question comes from Cells Basic Properties in chapter Introduction to Cell of Cell Biology

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Oocytes

For explanation I would say: Oocytes undergo irregular cell division where one daughter cell retains nearly all the cytoplasm which is later fertilized by a sperm cell and gives rise to an embryo. The other cell only consists of half the genetic material and no cytoplasm.
