Question

During spermatogenesis, the diploid cells are

• A. Primary spermatocyte and spermatogonium
• B. Spermatogonium and spermatid
• C. Secondary spermatocyte and spermatid
• D. Primary spermatocytes and spermatid

Answer 1

The correct option is A Primary spermatocyte and spermatogonium

Spermatogenesis is the meiotic division of spermatogonia to give rise to spermatozoa. The diploid spermatogonium mitotically gives rise to the diploid primary spermatocytes which further, via meiosis, give rise to haploid secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, and spermatozoids.

So, the correct answer is 'Primary spermatocyte and spermatogonium'.
