Question

Following fertilization and two rounds of cell cleavage, each of the four cells of a frog embryo has a centriole that is preparing for the next cleavage. The centriole in each of these cells can trace its origins back to the original centriole provided by the _______ prior to the first cleavage. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices secondary oocyte sperm ootid oogonium primary oocyte

Answer 1

sperm

Step-by-step explanation:

Centrioles are cylindrical organelles that play a major role during cell division, where they work to form the centrosome which duplicates and moves to opposite ends of the cell. The proximal centriole provided by the sperm cell mediates the separation of chromatids during the first cleavage of the fertilized egg. Upon fertilization, the proximal centriole forms the aster rays where microtubules act as a guide for the migration of the female pronucleus.
