Select the correct option regarding the given diagram. Assertion (A): Spermiogenesis is the process where spermatids transform into spermatozoa. Reason (R): Secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to form spermatozoa.
Options
- ABoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- BBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- CAssertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
- DAssertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Correct answer
C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Step-by-step solution
Assertion (A) is true. The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis Reason (R) is false. The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids.
