What is the number of chromosomes in a spermatogonium?

Step-by-step solution

The primary sex organs – the testis in the males and the ovaries in the females–produce gametes, i.e, sperms and ovum, respectively, by the process called gametogenesis. In testis, the immature male germ cells (spermatogonia) produce sperms by spermatogenesis that begins at puberty. The spermatogonia (sing. spermatogonium) present on the inside wall of seminiferous tubules multiply by mitotic division and increase in numbers. Each spermatogonium is diploid and contains 46 chromosomes . Some of the spermatogonia cal
