Question

Each secondary spermatocyte after second meiotic division produces

• A. Four haploid spermatids
• B. Only one haploid spermatid
• C. Two haploid spermatids
• D. Two diploid spermatids
• E. Four diploid spermatids

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Two haploid spermatids

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. The secondary spermatocytes produced by the primary spermatocytes further give rise to two haploid spermatids via meiosis.

So, the correct answer is 'Two haploid spermatids'.
