Step-by-Step Solution

According to the text, the 2nd polar body is formed during oogenesis, which occurs in females . Human females have the sex chromosome constitution XX, whereas males have XY . Since females do not possess a Y chromosome, all haploid gametes (ova) and associated polar bodies produced by the female contain only an X chromosome . Therefore, the number of Y chromosomes in the 2nd polar body is zero.
