Question
CBSEENBI12002643

The correct sequence of spermatogenetic stages leading to the formation of sperms in mature human testis is

  • spermatocyte-spermatoogonia-spermatid-sperms

  • spermatogonia-spermatocyte-spermatid

  • spermatid-spermatocyte-spermatogonia-sperms,

  • spermatogonia-spermatid-spermatocyte-sperms

Solution

B.

spermatogonia-spermatocyte-spermatid

In spermatogenesis, during growth phase some spermatogonia either due to growth or due to food storage become 2 or 3 times larger to their original size and are known as primary spermatocytes, which undergo meiosis- I and as result2 haploid secondary spermatocytes are formed.Further, meiosis-II takes place that results in the formation of 4- spermatids. Then, these round, non-motile and haploid spermatids are transformed into thread-like motile, haploid sperms (four).
