Primary spermatogonium undergo:

  • A. two mitotic divisions to become a secondary spermatocyte
  • B. mitosis and then meiosis to become a secondary spermatocyte
  • C. two meiotic divisions to become a secondary spermatocyte
  • D. meiosis and differentiation to become a secondary spermatocyte
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Primary spermatogonium undergo mitosis to replicate and maintain the diploid chromosome number, then meiosis to reduce the chromosome number, resulting in secondary spermatocytes. Choice A is incorrect as it skips meiosis. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests two meiotic divisions from primary spermatogonium, which is not accurate. Choice D is incorrect because it fails to mention the initial step of mitosis before meiosis in the process.
