Question

In which of the following cells first meiotic division is observed.

• A. Spermatogonia
• B. Primary spermatocytes
• C. Secondary spermatocytes
• D. Spermatids

Answer 1

The correct option is B Primary spermatocytes

Primary spermatocytes are the male germ cells before meiosis I. During the process of spermatogenesis, primary spermatocyte undergoes the first meiotic division to produce two secondary spermatocytes. In this, no significant DNA synthesis takes place. After secondary meiosis, 4 spermatids are produced from two spermatocytes. These spermatids then mature without further cell division into sperm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
