secondary oocyte, an oocyte in the period between the first and second maturation division. It is derived from a primary oocyte shortly before ovulation by a division that splits off the first polar body. If fertilized, it divides into an ootid and the second polar body.Otherwise, it perishes.In humans, it is a round cell about 0.1 mm in diameter and consists of protoplasm that contains some yolk enclosed by a thin cell wall, the vitelline membrane. It is surrounded by the zona pellucida and corona radiata.f fertilized, it divides into an ootid and the second polar body. Otherwise, it perishes.

Ad. In the first stage of oogenesis, the oogonium undergoes oocytogenesis, creating the primary oocyte through mitosis. Like the oogonium, the primary oocyte is a diploid cell, containing two complete sets of chromosomes. Sex cells are haploid cells, containing only half the amount of chromosomes in a diploid cell.Haploid cells are formed from diploid cells by meiosis.Through ootidogenesis, a form of meiosis, the primary oocyte produces the haploid secondary oocyte. The process of ootidogenesis is halted halfway through, which is called dictyate, until ovulation, when it is completed to produce the released egg or ootid.d.
