Solution
The correct option is C 16
In spermatogenesis, primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis-I and as a result of which two haploid secondary spermatocytes are formed. Thus for the given case, secondary spermatocyte possesses 8 chromosomes, i.e., 𝑛=8 and 16 chromatids because each chromosome has two chromatids.
