Question
Spermatogonia undergo a series of cell divisions statements to produce sperms. Select the correct from the following:
A. Spermatogonia always undergo meiotic cell division.
B. Primary spermatocytes divide mitotically to produce secondary spermatocytes.
C. Secondary spermatocytes, through their second meiotic division, produce haploid spermatids.
D. Spermatids produce spermatozoa through mitosis.
E. Spermatids transform into spermatozoa by spermiogenesis.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Spermatogenesis — series of divisions forming sperm]
A. Incorrect: Spermatogonia undergo mitotic differentiation.
B. Incorrect: Primary spermatocytes undergo $1^{\text{st}\text{~}}$ meiotic division to form secondary spermatocytes.
C. Correct: Secondary spermatocytes undergo $2^{\text{nd}\text{~}}$ meiotic division to form the haploid spermatids.
D. Incorrect: Spermatids form spermatozoa through a differentiation process called spermiogenesis.
E. Correct: Spermatids produce spermatozoa via spermiogenesis.
Thus, the correct statements are (C) and (E) only.
