How many sperms are produced from fifty secondary spermatocyte?
- A
200
- B
100
- C
50
- D
150
The secondary spermatocyte continues into meiosis II and each spermatocyte forms two sperm. So, 2x50=100.
This option is incorrect. Each secondary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis II to produce two sperms, resulting in a total of 100 sperms from 50 secondary spermatocytes.
This option is correct. Each secondary spermatocyte divides through meiosis II to produce two sperms. Therefore, 50 secondary spermatocytes produce 100 sperms in total.
This option is incorrect. Each secondary spermatocyte produces two sperms, not one. Thus, 50 secondary spermatocytes yield 100 sperms.
This option is incorrect. The calculation should be 2 sperms per secondary spermatocyte, resulting in 100 sperms, not 150.
