Solution

The correct option is A 46 and 23
The human germ cells are diploid in nature and so the number of chromosomes will be equal to 46. The germinal cells undergo meiotic division to form the haploid cells which are known as gametes. The male germ cells in the seminiferous tubules produce sperms which are haploid. So, the number of chromosomes in the sperms will be 23.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
