The correct answer is: P-secondary oocyte; Q-polar body
The entry of sperm into the cytoplasm of secondary oocytes brings the signal to induce the completion of the meiotic division. The second meiotic division of secondary oocyte is unequal which results in the formation of a large size haploid ovum and a tiny haploid cell called a polar body.
