Question

In spermatogenesis the phase of maturation involves

• A. the growth of spermatogonia into primary spermatocyte
• B. the formation of spermatogonia from gonocytes through mitosis
• C. the formation of spermatids from primary spermatocytes through meiosis
• D. the formation of oogonia from the spermatocytes through meiosis.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the formation of spermatids from primary spermatocytes through meiosis

Spermatogenesis is the process of maturation of sperms from primary spermatocyte by the process of meiosis. The primary spermatocytes (derived from the spermatogonia) periodically undergo meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes. The secondary spermatocytes undergo second meiosis to form four equal haploid spermatids.

So, the correct answer is ' the formation of spermatids from primary spermatocytes through meiosis'.
