The second maturation division of the mammalian ovum occurs

  • shortly after ovulation before the ovum makes entry into the fallopian tube

  • until after the ovum has penetrated by a sperm

  • until the nucleus of the sperm has fused with that of the ovum

  • until the nucleus of the sperm has fused with that of the ovum


B.

until after the ovum has penetrated by a sperm

In mammalian ovum during maturation phase, meiosis occurs, nucleus shifts towards the animal pole and undergoes meiosis-I. After fertilisation (penetration of sperm), the second meiotic division is completed with unequal cytoplasmic cleavage. This forms a large cell the ootid with the essentially whole of the cytoplasm and a very small cell, the second polar body.
