  1. A Spermatogonia
  2. B Secondary polar body
  3. C Primary polar body
  4. D Spermatid
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Spermatogonia

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) : Spermatogonia are diploid cells which mature into primary spermatocytes \((2n)\) by growth. They then produce two haploid secondary spermatocytes by meiosis \(I\). Each secondary spermatocyte \((n)\) completes the meiosis II and produces two spermatids \((n)\). Each spermatid \((n)\) develops into a spermatozoan or sperm \((n)\). Similarly, in females, oogonia are the diploid cells from which through meiosis, polar bodies \((n)\) and single ovum \((n)\) are produced.
