Reduction division occurs in:
Correct answer: C. Primary spermatocyte
- A. Spermatogonia
- B. Secondary spermatocyte
- C. Primary spermatocyte
- D. Spermatid
Explanation
Remember that these stages are part of spermatogenesis, the process of sperm cell formation in the testes. The reduction division (meiosis) primarily occurs in primary spermatocytes, leading to the generation of haploid secondary spermatocytes and, ultimately, spermatids.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
