Question

Primary spermatocytes are produced by mitosis of cells called

A) secondary spermatocytes.
B) polar bodies.
C) spermatogonia.
D) spermatids.
E) stem cells.

Answer 1

I think it’s Spermatogonia

Answer 2

Primary spermatocytes are produced by mitosis of spermatogonia, which are stem cells of the testis. After going through meiosis, spermatogonia differentiate into primary spermatocytes, which then give rise to secondary spermatocytes and ultimately spermatids.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary spermatocytes are produced by mitosis of cells called spermatogonia. Spermatogonia are the stem cells of the testis, which differentiate into primary spermatocytes. After undergoing meiosis I, primary spermatocytes give rise to secondary spermatocytes. Meiosis II then produces spermatids, which eventually develop into sperm cells. So, the correct answer is C) spermatogonia.
