Which of the following best describes sperm production in the male human reproductive system?


A.One diploid cell, with 46 chromosomes, undergoes meiosis to form four haploid sperm cells, with 23 chromosomes each.
B. Four haploid cells, with 23 chromosomes each, undergo mitosis to form one haploid sperm cell, with 23 chromosomes.
C. One diploid cell, with 46 chromosomes, undergoes mitosis to form four diploid sperm cells, with 46 chromosomes each.
D.Four haploid cells, with 23 chromosomes each, undergo meiosis to form one diploid sperm cell, with 46 chromosomes.

Answer 1

I know it is meiosis and not mitosis, so I'm like 99% sure that it is A.
I think this because the 23 chromosomes then combine with the 23 chromosomes from the female to make 46.
So I'm pretty sure that it is A.

Answer 2

A.One diploid cell, with 46 chromosomes, undergoes meiosis to form four haploid sperm cells, with 23 chromosomes each.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diploid primary spermatocytes (2n=46) undergo meiosis I and forms two haploid secondary spermatocytes (n=23). The secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II and form total four sperm cells (n=23). Since the sperm cells are product of meiosis, they are haploid and each sperm cell have 23 chromosomes.
