NDA General Ability Question (2026) — Solution

Question

In which cell does the first meiotic cell division take place during the process of spermatogenesis?

Options

  1. A. Spermatogonium
  2. B. Primary spermatocyte
  3. C. Secondary spermatocyte
  4. D. Sertoli cell

Answer

B. Primary spermatocyte

Step-by-step solution

During spermatogenesis, the spermatogonia present on the inside wall of seminiferous tubules multiply by mitotic division and increase in numbers. Some of the spermatogonia, called primary spermatocytes, periodically undergo meiosis. A primary spermatocyte completes the first meiotic division (reduction division) leading to the formation of two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes. The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids. Answer: Primary spermatocyte
