Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During spermatogenesis, one spermatogonium (diploid) containing 46 chromosomes undergoes two rounds of meiotic divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) to produce four haploid spermatids (spermatozoa), each containing 23 chromosomes. Therefore, one spermatogonium yields four spermatozoa, each containing 23 chromosomes, which is represented by choice C (46, 4, 23).
