HELP AM TOTALLY CONFUSED WITH BIO QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Oogenesis in the female results in one functional gamete, the egg, or ovum. What other cells are produced during this process? What is the significance of this rather wasteful type of gamete production - that is, production of a single functional gamete instead of four, as seen in males?

the polar bodies are a part of the egg. in plants, they serve to sustain the embryo by providing nutrients. They form the layers of a seed.
