The correct sequence of spermatogenetic stages leading to the formation of sperms in a mature human testis is
Options
- Aspermatocyte-spermatogonia-spermatid - sperms
- Bspermatogonia-spermatocyte-spermatid - sperms
- Cspermatid-spermatocyte-spermatogonia -sperms
- Dspermatogonia-spermatid-spermatocyte -sperms
Correct answer
B. spermatogonia-spermatocyte-spermatid - sperms
Step-by-step solution
In spermatogenesis, during growth phase some spermatogonia either due to growth or due to food storage become 2 or 3 times larger of their original size and are known as primary spermatocytes, which undergo meiosis-I and as a result 2 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).
