(A) They are the mechanism that allows for the shedding of excess cytoplasm during the production of a haploid ovum.
(B) They are the mechanism that allows for the shedding of excess nutrients during the production of a haploid ovum.
(C) They are the mechanism that allows for the shedding of excess genetic material during the production of a haploid ovum.
(D) They are the mechanism that allows for the shedding of excess mitochondria during the production of a haploid ovum.
(E) They are the mechanism that allows for streamlining of the ovum so as to facilitate the penetration of an ovum by a sperm.
