Question : The spermatogonia undergo division to produce sperms by the process of spermatogenesis. Choose the correct one with reference to above.

Answer»

Spermatogonia have 46 chromosomes and always undergo meiotic cell division
PRIMARY spermatocytes divideby mitotic cell division
SECONDARY spermatocytes have 23 chromosomes and undergo second meiotic division
Spermatozoa are transformed into spermatids

Solution :In testis immature male gametes produce sperms by the process of spermatogenesis. The spermatogonia present on the inside WALL of seminiferous tubules multiply by mitotic division and increase in numbers.
