Anatomy Why is it unlikely that a polar body mixed with sperm will create an embryo? Asked by arwen46 on 25 May 06:51 Last updated by anonymous on 26 May 17:04
Polar bodies are small cells that bud off of an oocyte. Because of this the polar bodies aren't capable of creating an embryo if a sperm mixes with it because the genetic makeup isn't correct for creating embryos.
