    True

    Explanation:

    Oogenesis includes the formation of one egg cell from a single oocyte or egg mother cell. The diploid primary oocytes in the ovaries enter into the first meiotic division and form a haploid secondary oocyte and a haploid first polar body. After fertilization, the secondary oocytes complete the meiosis-II and forms one large ovum and a second polar body. The ovum formed by meiosis-II is much larger than the second polar body due to the unequal distribution of cytoplasm during meiosis-II. This imparts enough amount of cytoplasm in the zygote to support the mitosis without any cell growth.
