Which of the following directly develops into sperms?
Correct answer: B. Spermatids
- A. Primary spermatocytes
- B. Spermatids
- C. Secondary spermatocytes
- D. Spermatogonia
Explanation
Spermatids are the end result of the process of meiosis. They, then, undergo specialization which includes growing flagella, and acrosomes and having a greater quantity of mitochondria to form the spermatozoa.Each testis consists of a highly complex duct system called seminiferous tubules, in which repeated division by the cells of the germinal epithelium produce spermatogonia[option D].These increase in size and differentiate into primary spermatocytes[option A] which undergo meiotic division to form secondary spermatocytes[option C] and spermatids. Eventually, the spermatids differentiate into mature sperms.[option B]
