Question

(Q) What would be the result for a patient if all his spermatogonia went through meiosis and proceeded to develop into spermatids?

(a) He would be entirely normal, since this is what usually happens.

(b) He would produce twice as many sperm and would be protected against infertility from other causes.

(c) After one round of sperm production, he would no longer be able to produce sperm and would be infertile.

(d) He would produce twice as many sperm, which would crowd them during later development and lead to morphological defects.

Answer 1

The result for a patient if all his spermatogonia went through meiosis and proceeded to develop into spermatids.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A) he would be entirely normal, since this is what usually happens

Developmental stages of spermatogenesis

The germ cells are present in males which are known as the spermatogonia. The first undergo mitosis to form two spermatogonia from one cell.

Then one spermatogonium undergoes meiosis I to form primary spermatocyte. Later the primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis II to form secondary spermatocyte.

The secondary spermatocyte give rise to spermatids.

These spermatids undergo spermiogenesis to form sperms.
