Question

How many sperms are formed from a secondary spermatocyte?

• A. $4$
• B. $8$
• C. $2$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2$

Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of spermatid$\left(n\right)$ from spermatogonia$\left(2n\right)$. The process goes as follows:-

Spermatogonia$\left(2n\right)⟶$ Primary Spermatocyte$\left(2n\right)⟶2$ Secondary Spermatocyte$\left(n\right)⟶4$ Spermatid$\left(n\right)⟶4$ Sperms$\left(n\right)$

So each secondary spermatocyte produces $2$ sperms.

So, the correct answer is '$2$'
