NEET 2026, Biology Q73: Gametogenesis
Spermatogonia undergo a series of cell divisions statements to produce sperms. Select the correct from the following :
A. Spermatogonia always undergo meiotic cell division.
B. Primary spermatocytes divide mitotically to produce secondary spermatocytes.
C. Secondary spermatocytes, through their second meiotic division, produce haploid spermatids.
D. Spermatids produce spermatozoa through mitosis.
E. Spermatids transform into spermatozoa by spermiogenesis.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A
A and E only
- B
C and E only
- C
A, C and E only
- D
B, C and D only
Spermatogonia divide mitotically, not meiotically, so A is wrong.
Primary spermatocytes undergo the first meiotic division (not mitosis) to form secondary spermatocytes, so B is wrong.
Secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to form haploid spermatids, so C is correct.
Spermatids form spermatozoa by spermiogenesis (a differentiation process, not mitosis), so D is wrong and E is correct.
Correct statements: C and E.
