Question

Are spermatogonia haploid or diploid?

Answer 1

Spermatogonia:

1. These are diploid undifferentiated male germ cells that give rise to sperm cells in the testis.
2. They undergo mitotic division to give rise to primary spermatocytes which then undergo meiotic division and form spermatozoa.
3. This process is called spermatogenesis.
4. They are undifferentiated diploid germ cells having two sets of chromosomes (2n).
5. During spermatogenesis, these cells give rise to haploid sperm cells.
