Solution

The correct option is D

Statement 3 is correct.


Centrioles are cell organelles which are responsible for the process of cell division. Sperms do not undergo further cell division. However, when sperm fuses with the ovum forming the zygote, it divides mitotically utilising the centrioles of the sperm, as the ovum is devoid of centrioles.
