All but one of the following statements describes the necessity of the blood testis barrier. Select the one statement that does not describe a necessity of the blood testis barrier. Spermatocytes undergo meiosis only during puberty, well after the immune system has come to recognize "self" from "non-self" cells. Foreign antigens produced by the newly formed sperm could initiate an autoimmune response against the developing sperm Spermatogenesis produces new combinations of genes and chromosomes that results in unique antigens that the immune system may see as foreign Sperm can only be produced at temperatures lower than body temperature. Inflammation in the testis could raise the temperature too high to produce sperm.
