A single spermatogonium ultimately produces how many functional sperm cells?
AJust one sperm cell forms in total
BJust two sperm cells form in total
CFour sperm cells (after meiosis)
DSixteen sperm cells form in total
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Four sperm cells (after meiosis)
One spermatogonium → primary spermatocyte (mitosis)
then meiosis I → 2 secondary spermatocytes
then meiosis II → 4 spermatids, which mature into 4 sperm cells.
