Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spermatids are haploid cells that are formed from secondary spermatocytes during spermiogenesis. Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to form two secondary spermatocytes (which are haploid) and thus, they are not diploid. Spermatogonia, on the other hand, are diploid stem cells that give rise to primary spermatocytes through mitosis. Therefore, the only cells that are diploid in the given options are primary spermatocytes and spermatogonia.
