Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary spermatocyte is a diploid cell that has derived from a spermatogonium. It undergoes meiosis, to divide into two haploid cells. These haploid cells are called secondary spermatocytes. Each secondary spermatocyte contains 23 chromosomes whereas primary spermatocyte contains 46 chromosomes.

The viability and percentage of germ cells differentiating into primary spermatocytes were proportional to the percentage of somatic cells in the culture, indicating that differentiation of spermatogonia into primary spermatocytes is mediated by Sertoli cells.
