The Number of Sperm Cells That Form from a Primary

Question

The number of sperm cells that form from a primary spermatocyte is
A)4.
B)16.
C)46.
D)100.

Accepted Answer

A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I, which results in the formation of two haploid secondary spermatocytes. Each secondary spermatocyte then undergoes meiosis II to yield two haploid spermatids, resulting in a total of four sperm cells per primary spermatocyte. Therefore, the correct choice is A) 4.
